EHR to EDC eSource at its Best

Loved by researchers. Valued by sponsors.

EHR to EDC eSource for Clinical Trials OpenClinica

OpenClinica’s EHR to EDC eSource solution, Unite, automates source data acquisition from patient medical record systems (EHRs and EMRs) to clinical trial research databases (EDCs) and case report forms (eCRFs) at scale.

This secure bridge between healthcare and research eliminates manual data transcription and is especially suited for rigorous GCP and Part 11-compliant clinical trials. Unite is backed by a rapidly growing network of over 450 clinical trial sites across major health systems serving tens of millions of patients.

9 Key Advantages of EHR to EDC eSource

  • Speed

    Sponsors gain early and consistent access to reliable data enabling quicker decision-making and reduced time-to-market.

  • Quality

    From the outset, incorporating EHR source data instills confidence among stakeholders in the information they receive. Furthermore, Unite surpasses both national and global compliance benchmarks, ensuring the utmost data quality.

  • Safety

    Accessing high-quality study data in real-time facilitates an earlier understanding of potential safety signals.

  • Diversity

    Clinical research sites can readily engage in studies, assisting sponsors in adhering to FDA draft guidance on trial diversity. This approach ensures the consistent efficacy of therapies across a wider range of populations.

  • Retention

    EHR to EDC eSource frees up site staff to focus on patients, fostering greater engagement and sustained participation throughout the duration of the study.

  • Site Satisfaction

    EHR to EDC eSource integration alleviates the load on research sites, potentially boosting their eagerness to partake in studies and effectively recruit patients.

  • Cost Containment

    Clinical trials incur significant costs due to the collection and abstraction of clinical data, exacerbated by human errors. Sponsors who utilize Unite experience a remarkable 61% reduction in time compared to sites employing manual data abstraction. This is merely the initial advantage.

  • Scalability

    The advanced development of technical standards, such as SMART on FHIR, results in sites becoming operational within hours, rather than days or weeks.

  • Strategic Growth

    Unite EHR to EDC eSource enables genuine data interoperability, enhancing study outcomes through the incorporation of novel data sources like medical devices, wearables and smartphones. This broadens opportunities for therapy development, allowing data to be shared with a wider array of research destinations.
