In various embodiments, a clinical trials brokerage is configured to receive requests from drug companies for lists of persons meeting specified criteria for clinical trials. Patient records are retrieved from a structured computerized patient record (CPR) data warehouse populated with comprehensive patient information mined from unstructured hospital records. A list of persons for whom consent was obtained can be outputted and forwarded to the entity interested in performing the clinical trial and which requested the list. Anonymity of a patient can be maintained until the patient provides consent to participate in the clinical trial.
