SÃO PAULO, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz, one of the largest hospital centers in Latin America, has announced a partnership with TriNetX to join the global health research network.

The emergence of the novel coronavirus in 2020 underlined the urgency and importance of clinical research on a global scale. Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz joined the TriNetX network to contribute to the acceleration of clinical research and finding a path to better outcomes for its patients. Furthermore, through the hospital's Center for Innovation, Research and Education, Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz will help drive future expansion of the TriNetX network through its relationships with other healthcare organizations with the goal of cultivating the largest data cluster for clinical research in Brazil and Latin America.

The TriNetX network and platform enable healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and contract research organizations (CROs) to collaborate utilizing real-world data (RWD) to optimize protocol design and feasibility, site selection, patient recruitment, and enable discovery through the generation of real-world evidence (RWE).

"This is a strategic initiative that contributes toward our goals for innovation, research and education at Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz," said Kenneth Almeida, Executive Director of Innovation, Research and Education at Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz. "In 2020, our investigators published 163 studies in scientific journals. We are thrilled to broaden our research capabilities to publish moving forward, and in collaboration with peer institutions on the TriNetX network."

Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz is now among the industry's leading research data asset in Latin America and across the globe. The data available on the TriNetX platform is de-identified, and TriNetX employs robust privacy and security measures in compliance with country and region-specific regulations including LGPD, HIPAA, and GDPR.

"In these unprecedented times, while the global medical and research community works to manage the novel coronavirus pandemic, it is essential to have the support of a clinical and epidemiological database that is continuously updated and available for physicians in Brazil and Latin America to conduct research," said Almeida.

"We are delighted to welcome Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz to the TriNetX network," said Steve Lethbridge, Senior Vice President of Global Healthcare Partnerships at TriNetX.
