Collaborate with REACHnet
REACHnet is one of eight PCORnet® Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) nationwide.
REACHnet contains electronic health record data for more than 19 million patients standardized to the PCORnet® Common Data Model to support pragmatic clinical research conducted under real-life practice conditions. Because a diverse patient population is served by our partner health systems, we are able to support studies that seek a highly representative sample of participants. For more information on advancing research using the PCORnet® CDM, please view the recent enhancements here.
Researchers from within and outside the network may request our services to conduct collaborative research through REACHnet.

Health Plan Partnership & Data Linkage
REACHnet has partnerships with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana, Humana, and CVS Health. REACHnet can engage health plans to partner in studies and facilitate data linkage. Linkage with Medicaid and Medicare data is also possible. Geocoding for linkage with sociodemographic and environmental data is available by census tract.
Patient & Community Engagement
Engage with community members—including patients, caregivers, and providers—to inform your study at every stage of the research process. Reach out to patients in REACHnet’s Health in Our Hands community about the opportunity to participate in your study; disseminate research findings to the patient community; and/or solicit patient perspectives to inform your research questions, study design, or recruitment approaches.
Clinic Staff Training
LPHI developed tools for effective engagement of clinic staff in implementation of clinic-based research, which often relies on their interactions with patients who are current or potential research participants.
