COMMONS: Connected Outcomes through a Mult-institutional Observational, National System
COMMONS aims to create a consent-governed national real-world data resource, aggregating patient data through lawful channels, harmonizing records to a common data model, and enabling privacy-protected research access. The project targets over 40 million individuals and 3 million linked records focusing on representative evidence and the inclusion of rural, community, and safety-net providers. Success could accelerate clinical research and expand stakeholder participation nationwide.
