Summary

Greater advances are needed in two separate but related areas in healthcare: 1) the Clinical Decision Support Systems that complement the EHR use in support of routine patient care, population management and disease management; and 2) the use of the point-of-care observational data from the provider-patient encounter that support realworld medical research and healthcare quality measure assessment. Real-world evaluations of treatments of chronic diseases in the context of comorbid conditions and special populations (minorities, women, mentally ill, and those with addiction) are limited. The purpose of the OPERA database is to help address this unmet need in clinical research.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This is a large observational study called OPERA (Observational Pharmaco-Epidemiology Research and Analysis) that collects real-world medical and treatment data from patients at participating doctor practices. The goal is to study how medicines are actually used in everyday clinical settings — outside of controlled trials — and what health outcomes patients experience over time. This kind of research helps improve our understanding of how treatments perform in the real world. **You may be eligible if...** - You are currently a patient at a medical practice that has enrolled in the OPERA study - Your treatment and health information is routinely recorded in that practice's electronic health record system - You have not opted out of having your data used for research **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have actively chosen to opt out of participating in the OPERA research program - Your treatment data is not stored in the participating practice's electronic health record system Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
