Clinical Data Repository

A Clinical Data Repository (CDR) is a centralized digital system that stores all of a patient's medical information collected from different healthcare sources, such as labs, hospitals, and clinics. It organizes this data in a secure way, making it easy for healthcare providers to access and review a patient’s complete medical history quickly. This helps in making informed decisions, coordinating care, and improving health outcomes. Essentially, a CDR acts as a unified database that consolidates diverse health information into one accessible platform for better healthcare delivery.
