For Researchers

Research Databases

CHC: Community Research Database

r

Maintain a database inventory of academic and community research interests and projects – 324 community members from throughout Wisconsin, 336 academics from throughout Wisconsin Universities

MCRF CAP: Marshfield Epidemiologic Study Area (MESA)

r

MESA is a validated 24-ZIPCode region where nearly all of the 80,000 residents choose to receive care from Marshfield Clinic and its affiliated partners. The Epidemiology Research Center monitors and maintains a data file of residency records for the dynamic cohort of patients living in this region since 1991 (n=200,000+), which can be linked to the Marshfield Clinic data warehouse archive of clinical and administrative data for population-based research.

MCRF CAP: HMO Research Network VDW

r

VDW - Virtual Data WarehouseThe VDW contains a dynamic cohort of Security Health Plan insured members which can be studied alone or in combination with MESA residents, and includes standardized data on encounters, diagnoses, procedures, medications, labs, vital measurements, and mortality (n=175,000 at a given point in time). The VDW can be used locally or to support collaborative research with national partners from the HMO Research Network.

MCRF CAP: Other defined patient cohorts

r

Formal standardized data resources on primary care, insurance claims, and inpatient stay populations are also being established to support 2-site collaborations with UW ICTR investigators. Other relevant patient cohorts have been assembled on an ad hoc basis to support development and conduct of funded research.
