  • Data collected for quality improvement purposes in the ACHQC can be used for research in certain circumstances​
  • Any use of ACHQC data for research purposes should involve either your local or private Institutional Review Board (IRB) 
  • ACHQC surgeons and individually approved personnel can access your own patients’ data any time for research by direct download from the ACHQC user interface. Please be aware that downloading information in this manner may include Patient Health Information (PHI) depending on your selections for export. Please follow your local institutional or practice policies regarding the proper handling of PHI
  • ACHQC surgeons can request a summary analyzed research data for all ACHQC patients by completing the appropriate form below. The request is approved by the ACHQC Data Use and Publications Committee and analysis performed in partnership between the requesting surgeon or group and the ACHQC Data Coordination Center. Currently, this service is provided free of charge to ACHQC surgeons in good standing
  • Members of industry and researchers can also request summary analyzed research data by completing the appropriate form below. Individual fees may apply
  • ACHQC Foundation does not license ACHQC data to any person, including, without limitation, to participating surgeons and institutions and Foundation Partners, for use in litigation

ACHQC Participating Surgeon and Institution Request for Data
