CAPriCORN's Response to COVID-19
The Chicago Area Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Network (CAPriCORN) is a partnership of research institutions, clinicians, patients, and patient advocates. We connect expertise with the electronic health record data needed to answer critical health questions. The network is a truly collaborative space – we work together to ensure the integrity of our projects and the quality of our data.
A Patient Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) has worked with CAPriCORN since its inception to elevate the patient voice in research.
CAPriCORN Goals
CAPriCORN is one of nine Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) supported by the National Patient Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) that originated from the Patient-Centered Research Institute (PCORI).

Supporting the work of CAPriCORN
CAPriCORN’s mission is to develop, test, and implement policies and programs designed to improve health care quality, health outcomes, and health equity for the diverse populations of Chicagoland and beyond. We work closely with our Patient Community Advisory Committee (PCAC) to ensure priorities align with patient needs and goals.
Since 2014, CAPriCORN has worked to put in place the infrastructure and processes necessary to create data sets comprised of high-quality, de-duplicated patient information. CAPriCORN engages in sustainable, population-level patient-centered outcomes research.
