ADVANCE is working to improve the health of vulnerable populations
The ADVANCE Clinical Research Network (CRN) is the nation’s largest safety net community laboratory, and led by OCHIN in partnership with Fenway Health, Health Choice Network (HCN) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). The goal of ADVANCE is to build and maintain a “community laboratory” of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) serving safety net patients, including the uninsured, the under-insured, undocumented immigrants, and other vulnerable populations.
The secure ADVANCE Data Warehouse includes:
8 million+ Patients
212 Health Systems
35 States
2,000+ Clinic Sites
Partners include Fenway Health, Health Choice Network, and Oregon Health & Science University. ADVANCE is one of 9 PCORnet clinical research networks funded by PCORI. It is the nation’s largest community health center focused network and a leader in health equity research.
The ADVANCE Data Warehouse (DW) maintains data on over 8 million patients and is the nation’s most comprehensive dataset on care and health outcomes in safety net patients. ADVANCE is one of 9 large Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) in the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute’s (PCORI) distributed research network, called PCORnet®. The goal of PCORnet® is to create a national network of representative data for conducting comparative effectiveness and clinical outcomes research.
ADVANCE is the nation’s largest safety net community laboratory, consisting of researchers, patients and clinicians working together to improve the health of vulnerable populations.
OCHIN and its ADVANCE Collaborative partners have assembled the nation’s most comprehensive dataset on care and health outcomes in safety net patients, who are often underrepresented in claims- and academic hospital-based research.
