CDRG is an interdisciplinary health services research group staffed by clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and information systems experts.

We evaluate quality of care and identify trends in anemia, diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease through observational research into these and other chronic conditions. Our work is relevant in the contexts of health policy, clinical applications, and strategic planning.

Our expertise rests on our experience managing large administrative, claims, pharmaceutical, and disease-specific data sets, including the Medicare 5% sample, the Medicare 100% ESRD data, and MedStat, Framingham, and NHANES data. We build flexible and expandable databases that allow us to develop innovative analytical approaches and carry out long-range observational studies. We have the infrastructure in place to secure our data and to assure patient privacy protection and HIPAA compliance.

We maintain advanced computer systems capable of accepting and managing large quantities of data, allowing sophisticated analyses, and providing for efficient and secure information sharing and distribution.
