About Cosmos
Cosmos can improve the health and lives of people everywhere. Many can imagine the research possibilities with Cosmos, but Cosmos also enables clinicians to contextualize insights to patients like the one in front of them and facilitates an extended network of peers to collaborate with for rare diseases or medical mysteries.
Why Cosmos?
Longitudinal Records
Cosmos integrates both inpatient and outpatient charts into a single, comprehensive record — including as patients move between health systems. In addition to diagnoses and medications, it includes patient-generated data and specialty-specific data. For example, a cancer patient’s record contains detailed oncology visits, cancer staging, advanced lab results, and hospitalizations as well as standard outpatient visits.

Cosmos Is Representative
Cosmos goes well beyond diagnoses and medications found on claims transactions and includes patient-generated health data, birth records, vitals, and social drivers like transportation and financial security assessments.
Because the organizations that participate in Cosmos care for a diverse population of patients, Cosmos provides a representative sample of patients who seek healthcare. Below, see how the proportions of patients represented in Cosmos compare to the United States Census.

Cosmos Is Fast
Cosmos is designed to answer clinical questions quickly. Once approved for Cosmos access, clinicians and other scholarly explorers at organizations using Cosmos can get answers on demand without needing to put a request in for data.
Access to Cosmos
As Cosmos is made possible by a community of health systems using Epic software agreeing to collaborate, direct access to Cosmos is available for those affiliated with and approved by a Cosmos participating organization. Access to Cosmos and Cosmos data cannot be purchased.
