ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY
Since its inception in 1994, the Center for Outcomes Research (COR) has served as the scientific coordinating center for a number of national and international disease-focused outcomes registries. Based in the Department of Surgery at UMass Chan Medical School, COR’s projects have ranged from phase-IV post-marketing studies and randomized clinical interventional studies to quality of care initiatives. COR’s responsibilities have included study design, maintenance of patient and physician confidentiality, design of data collection instruments, development of data management systems, and the dissemination of study results through scientific publications and confidential reports to patients, physicians and sponsors.
