The Registry currently contains data from all ED visits from nine sites with data spanning calendar years 2012 through 2020. Each site transmits data to the DCC monthly. Comprehensive data quality assurance rules have been automated to assess data quality and validation of the transmitted data. The Registry is about to undergo an upgrade to the data collection system and is currently onboarding three new sites.  The Registry has data on over 4.4 M visits and 1.6 M unique patients. Data are also used for health services research, comparative effectiveness research, hypothesis generation and grant planning for the network. The Registry is utilized in four other funded PECARN grants.
