Investigators in the Department of Anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College should speak with CPO staff regarding the submission of a proposal to use MPOG data.

To maintain a high standard of quality, MPOG has set specific processes in place prior to the distribution of study data. A proposal must be submitted by the researcher and approved by an MPOG committee. Detailed instructions related to the submission of a proposal may be found here.

A list of projects may be found at MPOG’s website.

Formed in 2008, the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) is a consortium of several medical centers aggregating large volumes of observational inpatient electronic health record (EHR) data and patient-reported outcomes. MPOG has already extracted, transformed, and mapped more than 2 million patient records from various medical centers across the US and Europe. MPOG contains demographic information, basic case information, and pre-, intra- and post-operative documentation, as well as hospital discharge codes and charges. More information regarding MPOG may be found here.
