Overview
NESTcc has assembled a Research Network to advance the generation of Real-World Evidence (RWE) and foster collaboration with stakeholders across the medical device ecosystem. The NESTcc Research Network is comprised of internationally recognized institutions with access to robust data, organized into standardized common data models, including domains such as demographics, diagnoses, procedures, laboratory tests, and outcomes.
The reach of the NESTcc Research Network spans a population with more 220 million patient records across the United States and the UK. We continue to expand the Research Network to incorporate innovative research capabilities, enriched and disparate data sources, and additional breadth across geographies and patient populations.

NESTcc Network Collaborators
NESTcc has established formal partnerships with Network Collaborators – health providers, academic research institutions, payers, and professional registries – that collect, curate, and analyze data to ensure that it is fit for purpose. Network Collaborator teams include experts with capabilities leveraging health data and applying advanced analytics to facilitate linkages among data sources.
NESTcc works together with our Network Collaborators to inform and streamline research for the generation of high-quality evidence: establishing core data sets, using common definitions, and outlining data quality and methods that expand the possibilities of real-world data to answer questions of interest.
