罗切斯特流行病学项目是一种独特的医疗记录链接系统，包括向明尼苏达州罗切斯特和奥姆斯特县居民提供的护理，它是伦纳德·T·库兰德博士的创建，他设想了基于人群的数据资源，该资源将产生于将梅奥诊所开发的临床文件与其他社区提供者获得的文件相结合的结果，最著名的是奥姆斯特德医疗集团及其附属的奥姆斯特德社区医院，库兰德建立在由亨利·S·普卢默博士于1907年设计的梅奥单位医疗记录系统和由约瑟夫·伯克森博士于1935年引入的内科和外科索引系统的基础上，通过为当地居民提供医疗保健的详细信息，罗切斯特流行病学项目能够为几乎任何严重疾病提供准确的发病率数据，并支持基于人群的疾病原因和结果分析研究，因此，对一系列疾病的流行病学研究已经成为可能，自1966年该系统成立以来，已发表了近900篇论文。奥姆斯特德县是世界上少数几个可以在半个世纪或更长时间内在限定人口中准确描述和分析疾病发生和自然历史的地方之一。
The Rochester Epidemiology Project is a unique medical records-linkage system that encompasses the care delivered to residents of Rochester and Olmsted County, Minnesota, It is the creation of Dr, Leonard T. Kurland, who envisioned the population-based data resource that would result from combining the clinical documentation developed by the Mayo Clinic with that obtained by other community providers, most notably the Olmsted Medical Group and its affiliated Olmsted Community Hospital, Kurland built on the Mayo unit medical record system that was designed by Dr, Henry S. Plummer in 1907 and on the medical and surgical indexing systems introduced by Dr, Joseph Berkson in 1935, By affording access to details of the medical care given to local residents, the Rochester Epidemiology Project is able to provide accurate incidence data for almost any serious condition and to support population-based analytic studies of disease causes and outcomes, Thus, epidemiologic studies of a wide array of disorders have been possible and have culminated in almost 900 publications since the system was organized in 1966, Olmsted County is one of the few places in the world where the occurrence and natural history of diseases can be accurately described and analyzed in a defined population for a half century or more.
