CARDIFF RESEARCH CONSORTIUM LTD
THE MEDICENTRE
HEATH PARK, CARDIFF, CF14 4UJ UK

The Health Outcomes Data Repository (HODaR) is a unique database comprising both inpatient and outpatient & primary care Quality of Life (QoL), cost and clinical information (such as biochemistry and haematology), drug and resource use across all disease groups. 

HODaR can undertake project-specific studies custom-designed to meet your individual product needs. For example, we can easily and quickly modify the ongoing survey to capture further data, or introduce an alternative humanistic instrument. 

We are able to offer data analysis in two ways. Analysis of only HODaR data is undertaken within HODaR at an additional charge based on a daily rate.  Additional analysis, such as the development of disease models that use HODaR and additional sources of data, are undertaken by our sister company Cardiff Research Consortium. 

All eligible PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, HEALTH ECONOMICS CONSULTANCIES and UNIVERSITIES may fully evaluate the HODaR database for a period of 30 days, free of charge, by registering with HODaR. 

To evalute HODaR’s capabilities and a demonstration of how it would be applied to your research, please visit us on Booth 7.
