The PUF is an anesthesia case-level file containing data through the most recent full year of data submitted to AQI NACOR without ability to identify patients, hospitals, or healthcare providers. The PUF provides researchers at participating sites with a data resource they can use to investigate and advance the quality of care delivered to anesthesia patients through the analysis of cases captured by NACOR. The PUF is free for anesthesia professionals of NACOR participating practices.
