How CRI and Clinical Partners Are Using Synthetic Data to Improve Care

By News

The Center for Research Informatics (CRI), in collaboration with UChicago Medicine’s Center for Healthcare Delivery Science and Innovation (HDSI) and Information Technology Services (UCM IT), is transforming how clinicians and researchers access and use healthcare data through the ADAMS Center. By providing centralized data and synthetic datasets, the team makes it possible to explore insights more quickly, reduce risk, and drive meaningful improvements in patient care, without compromising privacy.

Read more about how this collaborative approach is helping teams move from questions to impact more quickly.
