Data collected in real-world health environments (as opposed to controlled clinical trials) provides valuable insights into the usage and comparative effectiveness of various treatments.

Real-world data can include:

• De-identified health data collected as a by-product of patient care
• Collection and analysis of observational data
• Electronic medical record (EMR) system data used for cohort discovery
• Condition-specific data marts based on de-identified inpatient data
