With seven healthcare systems treating over 11 million patients, PaTH gives researchers the opportunity to work with and learn from larger and more diverse populations than would be available in any single system.
The below table represents a patient population that has been active since 1/1/2016. In order to provide an accurate picture of PaTH’s “active” patient population, the counts shown are limited to patients who have received at least one diagnosis since January 1st, 2016. PaTH also offers researchers a great deal of historical patient data to work with, and while each site’s CDM has a different start date, all have data stretching back to at least 2016, representing over 15 million patients.
There are also some data elements which vary in completeness between sites. Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) is an example, with only five of the nine sites reporting this information.
