Clinical Reporting Unit
The Clinical Reporting Unit (CRU) is a service unit of the Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi) and the Joseph Stokes Jr. Research Institute community.
We assist Children's Hospital's clinicians, researchers, and managers navigating the varied types of clinical data from our electronic health record. In addition, we serve as representatives in a number of initiatives that involve understanding data captured during patient care, how data is modeled in a number of Children's Hospital databases, and how data is integrated across these resources.
