Requesting Clinical Data

Requesting Clinical Data

The principal way to submit a Clinical Data request to the Data Broker group is via the UHealth IT ServiceNow Self-Service Portal. The only exception is for Research-related Consent to Contact lists via REDCap application. Please see Consent to Contact on the left navigation pane for more information on that option.

Use the Data Broker Services (Clinical) Request form under “Catalog Filters” – “Data Services” and “Research Access & Support” available on the UHealth IT ServiceNow Self-Service Portal . 

You will be prompted to log in through Single Sign-On page (Microsoft Authenticator Multi-factor Authentication) before being presented with the Service Now screen.

  • Required fields have an *.
  • You must accept the Terms and Conditions by checking the box.
  • Attach any documents by using the paperclip icon available at the bottom of the form.
  • Scroll up and submit your request. Note: If you did not complete one of the required fields you will see a pop-up listing all missing required fields.
  • Click on “Submit Order” and an Order Status page with ticket number will display

Data Broker Services reviews clinical data requests within 2-3 business days, then assigns them to UHealth IT for fulfillment. UHealth IT typically estimates two weeks or more for completion, though this may vary, depending on volume, priority and complexity of requests already in their queue.
