The Carolina Data Warehouse for Health (CDW-H) is a central data repository containing clinical, research, and administrative data sourced from the UNC Health Care System. Both Epic and legacy hospital systems are represented, with the ability to query most data elements as far back as mid-2004.

Our team of analysts can help you use the CDW-H to answer a variety of research questions, such as:

  • "I need to determine feasibility for an upcoming trial. Can you tell me how many patients between the ages of 18 and 55 have had more than five HbA1c values greater than 6.5 over the past three years?"
  • "I am recruiting for a trial, and would like a pool of potential participants to contact. Can you give me names and contact information for female patients who were newly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in the past year?"
  • "I need a retrospective dataset on patients diagnosed with kidney stones, covering their diagnoses, procedures, medications and lab results for five years preceding their diagnosis."
  • "I need to mine clinical notes and discharge summaries to extract data points about my patient population that are not collected discretely in the chart."

For more detailed information about the CDW-H, please see our FAQs page. We are always happy to consult with researchers regarding data needs.
