Rochester Epidemiology Project  

Definition

  • The Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) is a population-based medical records linkage system that was established by Leonard T. Kurland in 1966. It exploits the geographic isolation of Olmsted County in southeastern Minnesota from other urban centers so that almost all medical care for residents of the county (or the central city of Rochester) is delivered within the community.
