Obtaining Counts Preparatory for Research
UCLA participates in three networks that you can use to assess how many patients would meet different study inclusion criteria that are being considered. The systems also help you choose which other institutions to approach for participation if you need a larger sample size. Once your criteria is set, you can also obtain patient counts by gender, race and ethnicity to facilitate the completion of NIH planned enrollment tables.

- Sarah Thayer and Rick Little are the OptumLabs contacts for the UC system
OptumLabs and UC Health
The University of California and UnitedHealth Group have formed a strategic partnership to collaborate and work strategically to improve healthcare. One aspect of the strategic relationship is the research collaboration with OptumLabs, a data-driven research and discovery center, with a focus on working with OptumLabs data sets, analytical tools and collaborations to advance clinical research and translation.
