The Clinical Outcomes Research Initiative (CORI) was established in 1995 under the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) to study outcomes of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic procedures in clinical settings. Physicians participating in the CORI consortium produce GI endoscopy reports using an electronic health record developed specially for the project. CORI practice sites include hospitals, ambulatory care centers, private practices, universities, and Veteran's hospitals. The practice data are stripped of most patient and physician identifiers before transmitting to a central data repository, where they are tested for completeness and accuracy. Data from all participating practices are merged and stored in the National Endoscopic Database (NED).

Data from the NED has been analyzed to examine endoscopic practice patterns, including endoscopic utilization, frequency and severity of endoscopic findings, and endoscopic treatment and medical management. The data also serve as a resource to develop research hypotheses and to support quality measure reporting. CORI data has already been utilized to support many research initiatives, many of which have resulted in publications in medical journals and presentations at GI conferences.

In addition to availability in through the CORI consortium, the data collected in the NED since 2000 is been contributed to the NIDDK Repository and is available for request through the NIDDK Repository site.

The current data package contains data from the v3 warehouse from 2000 through 2010.

The Children’s Health Act 2018 came into effect on 1st January 2019. Under this act, Children’s Health Ireland was established and all assets, liabilities and records were transferred from Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Temple Street Children’s University Hospital and National Childrens Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital to the new body. From 1st January 2019, all NTPF reports reflect this change and data from the three sites of Children’s Health Ireland are reported as one entity. On the 31st of July 2019 Children's Health Ireland opened a new Paediatric Outpatient Department and Urgent Care Centre at CHI Connolly in Blanchardstown. The waiting lists for this site are incorporated into the Children's Health Ireland figures. Please note that NTPF does not collect activity data, i.e., numbers treated or removed. A snapshot of the number of patients waiting in each hospital is collected and published, monthly, on the NTPF website. Boards and management of individual public hospitals are responsible for the accuracy and the integrity of patient data submitted to NTPF. The NTPF commenced publishing separate Adult and Child Waiting List Reports in April 2021. The Open Data report formats reflect this change from that date forward.
