Architecture for Research Computing in Health (ARCH)

Electronic health record (EHR) systems capture patient data for primary use in care and billing. ARCH facilitates secondary use of EHR data for research as well as capture of novel research measures and integration of data from multiple systems. For supporting the spectrum of retrospective and prospective study needs, ARCH aims to provide investigators with data sets amenable to statistical analysis, compliant with regulations, and within budget.

ARCH receives financial support from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) and Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC), including the Clinical and Translational Science Center (CTSC) (UL1 TR000457-06) and Joint Clinical Trials Office (JCTO).
