What does HRR mean in HEALTHCARE

Health Registries for Research (HRR) are collections of patient data from medical practice databases, organized and structured for use in medical research.

HRRs allow researchers to have access to longitudinal data from a large number of individuals over a period of time, making them ideal resources for studying the effectiveness of health care treatments and interventions.

HRRs collect information such as demographic characteristics, diagnoses, procedures, laboratory results, medications and outcomes.

Using HRR data provides researchers with more comprehensive insights into population health trends than what could be obtained through surveys or studies that rely on self-reported information. Additionally, the large sample size increases the validity and reliability of the results obtained from these studies.

Access to HRR databases is often restricted due to privacy concerns. Generally speaking, only approved healthcare professionals or research scientists with an established research project may access these databases.
