CCEDRRN
Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network
The Canadian COVID-19 Emergency Department Rapid Response Network (CCEDRRN) is a national collaboration with Public Health partners to harmonize data collection related to COVID-19 in more than 51 Emergency Departments (EDs) across 8 provinces (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON, QC, NS, NB).
To date, CCEDRRN has captured data on over 200,000 patients across Canada, with ongoing weekly accrual of 2,000-2,500 COVID-19 tested patients. This allows us to conduct well-powered investigations on specific populations within Canada.

Background: Emergency physicians lack high-quality evidence for many diagnostic and treatment decisions made for patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Our objective is to describe the methods used to collect and ensure the data quality of a multicentre registry of patients presenting to the emergency department with suspected or confirmed COVID-19.
