UCSF provides several tools and data resources for researchers to access clinical data from UCSF's electronic health record (EHR) system, called APeX. These include the IDR data repository containing de-identified data on over 440,000 patients, UC-ReX which allows researchers to access consistent EHR data across 5 UC medical campuses, and the Research Data Browser for exploring de-identified APeX data. Researchers can also request custom data extracts or consult with data analysts. Proper use of clinical data aims to be accurate, understandable, secure, and protect patient privacy.
