De-Identified Data within REACH

The Johns Hopkins inHealth Research Enclave for Analyzing Clinical Health Data (REACH) is a de-identified data resource that enables scientific discovery and advances healthcare by developing a de-identified version of Johns Hopkins’ electronic medical records (EMR) data. REACH offers a secure, transparent, and efficient process that safeguards patient privacy, reduces administrative burden, and removes access barriers for authorized users.

Through inHealth Precision Medicine, a Johns Hopkins Medicine initiative, researchers from any institutional center can request data, leverage advanced tools from the Research IT team, and benefit from this streamlined, de-identified data enclave that supports data access, analysis, and precision medicine at every step.
