Each year, PCORnet connects researchers with health data from everyday healthcare encounters with nearly 47 million people nationwide through eight PCORnet® Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) and over 70 partner organizations participating in PCORnet.
Access to broad data through PCORnet helps researchers design and implement large-scale, innovative, patient-centered health research.
The following data visualizations illustrate a snapshot of PCORnet data resources from January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024, unless otherwise noted.
Total Number of unique patients: 46,797,628
Data from PCORnet resources represent encounters with a diverse patient population from across the U.S. and include a wide range of ages, races, and ethnicities for males and females. The data are from patients with at least 1 face-to-face encounter and a recorded diagnosis in 2024.

PCORnet is a large, distributed “network of networks” funded by PCORI to improve the nation’s capacity to efficiently conduct health research, particularly patient-centered comparative clinical effectiveness research (CER).
At the time of this report, PCORnet® Network Partners include PCORnet® Clinical Research Networks (CRNs) with more than 70 data-contributing sites in addition to Patient Partners and the Coordinating Center for PCORnet®. Collectively, these data-contributing sites consist of more than thirteen thousand clinical sites connected to nearly 47 million patients in the U.S. Clinical sites include large academic health systems, hospitals, federally qualified health centers, and community clinics.
This report describes the results of a data query of the patient population with at least 1 face-to-face encounter and a recorded diagnosis code (e.g., ICD-10) at a health care setting across PCORnet between January 1 – December 31, 2024. The query results will enhance public awareness of the population of patients across sites participating in PCORnet that potentially would be available for future health care research.
