Data Access Licensing
OPC offers licensing options for those academic and commercial customers wishing to directly access OPCRD data and data services. Further information regarding our license packages can be found here.
Feasibility Assessments
OPCRD provides the opportunity to swiftly understand the feasibility of your research question by applying your study’s eligibility criteria at the early stages of study development. It is the speed of our delivery that supports the development of many clinical trials (power calculations and operational feasibility) and database research studies (data availability).
Customised Datasets
OPCRD goes beyond electronic medical records (EMR) by tailoring data delivery to the requirements of the research question. Through direct relationships with GP practices we can offer bespoke opportunities to collect patient reported outcomes (PRO’s) via questionnaires and collection of data from innovative, diagnostic and therapeutic devices e.g. FeNO via nurse led clinical reviews.
Data Linkage
OPC offers the opportunity to link longitudinal EMR data to other healthcare data sources through its pseudonymous service database (OPCSD) which holds a one way hashed NHS number. As such OPC can be linked to data sources holding NHS numbers in the UK.
Research Support
Our collaborative network of companies offer a truly bespoke arrangement with customers, which cannot be found with any other medical database provider.
