Depth, breadth and quality to support your research needs
Capturing a complete picture of the patient healthcare journey does not happen with claims data alone. Clinical research, medication adherence analysis, value messaging and commercialization strategies all depend on data that sufficiently reflect what occurs during diagnosis and treatment.
Unlike niche data aggregators, Optum consolidates and enriches EHR data that span therapeutic areas and sites of care. Our scale lets researchers drill down into the treatment patterns and resulting care outcomes that matter for the population they're studying.
We remain at the forefront of using natural language processing (NLP) to provide meaning, structure and context to clinical notes. That means more opportunities for enrichment and more precise insight to help you understand where your treatment has the greatest opportunity to impact patient outcomes.
Some of the commercially available data sets source data solely from oncology clinics, which may not reflect patients’ full care journey.
