EMR to EDC Solution

Leverage Real World Data to advance science and improve patient outcomes.

The ability to leverage Real World Data (RWD) efficiently and accurately is crucial. IQVIA’s innovative Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to Electronic Data Capture (EDC) solution is designed to streamline this process. The result: you, as study sponsors, can focus on what truly matters: advancing medical science and improving patient outcomes.
Why choose an EMR to EDC solution?

Automated data transfer from EMR systems into EDC platforms eliminates transcription errors associated with manual data entry. By ensuring that data is accurate and up to date, the solution can help you maintain the highest standards of data quality.

The EMR to EDC solution can help you reduce required time and resources for data collection and management. By leveraging available data with automated data transfer as part of standard workflows, clinicians can benefit from data entry efficiency and quality, resulting in accelerated study timelines without adding tasks.

Using Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technologies (SMART) on Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) Application Programming Interfaces (API) facilitates seamless integration with existing EMR systems and EDC platforms. For custom integrations, our experts will collaborate with you and study sites to configure an integration process that aligns with existing clinical and study workflows.

The IQVIA EMR to EDC Solution complies with the latest regulatory standards, ensuring your data is securely managed and stored. Automated data transfer also provides traceability and auditability, simplifying compliance with regulatory requirements.

Clinician oversight is at the core of our EMR to EDC solution, as they maintain full control over their data with the DVA feature (Data Validation Assurance). This feature leverages clinicians’ firsthand expertise, allowing you to refine and verify data while keeping clinicians in the driver’s seat to enhance data integrity and foster confidence in the data’s accuracy. You as the study sponsor can be confident to get a high-quality dataset that is reliable and clinically validated.
How IQVIA’s EMR to EDC Solution compares to the traditional data process
Take the data entry process to the next level

Reduced data burden

Minimize the data burden on sites by automating data transfer directly from EMRs into the EDC, eliminating the need for manual entry. This streamlined process reduces workload for site staff, allowing them to focus on patient care, while ensuring that study data is accurately captured.

Site monitoring and source data verification

Enhance site monitoring and Source Data Verification (SDV) by automating data capture and transfer directly from EMRs into the EDC system. This approach reduces manual entry errors, allowing site staff to focus on patient care and providing monitors with near real-time data for faster issue detection and targeted remote monitoring. With our Data Validation Assistance (DVA) feature, clinicians can review and approve data before submission, minimizing the need for extensive SDV checks.

Enhanced data quality

Preserve the accuracy and integrity of clinical data from source to EDC. By minimizing manual transcription, the risk of errors is reduced, providing sponsors with reliable high-quality data.

Increased site participation

Designed to reduce site burden, making participation more appealing and feasible for sites. By simplifying data entry and reducing administrative tasks, our technology allows sites to participate in studies with minimal disruption to their workflows, enhancing site engagement and retention across studies.

Global study capabilities

With compatibility across multiple EMR systems and regions, our solution supports the global execution of clinical studies. Our FHIR-based integration enables standardized data transfer, ensuring seamless data capture. This adaptability allows sponsors to conduct multi-regional studies with confidence, knowing they will have scalable globally applicable technology in place.

BENEFITS

Benefits for study sponsors

Accelerated data access

Receive near real-time access to study data, enabling faster analysis and quicker decision-making.

Enhanced data quality and consistency

Data collected is clinician-validated to ensure higher quality, accuracy and reliability. This can result in more robust study outcomes and streamlined regulatory submissions, while providing real-time feedback and transparency to sites.

Reduced monitoring costs

Our solution enables efficient rSDM, reducing on-site visits and costs, while providing sponsors with real-time data access for proactive monitoring, enhancing data quality and decision-making.

Enhanced compliance and security

Built to meet rigorous data privacy standards, IQVIA’s EMR to EDC solution supports data integrity and compliance with global regulatory requirements.

BENEFITS

Benefits to sites

Optimized resource allocation

Automated data transfer from EMR to EDC minimizes manual entry, allowing site staff to focus on patient care rather than data entry.

Data control and transparency

With data validation assistance feature, clinicians can review, edit, and approve data before submission, giving them greater control over what reaches the EDC and ensuring data reflects clinical insights.

Efficient workflow integration

Designed to fit within existing clinical and IT workflows, our intuitive user interface ensures ease of use, allowing site staff to operate within familiar systems without additional complexity.

Accelerated site payments

Streamlining data capture and validation reduces delays in data processing, allowing sponsors to quickly verify clinician contributions. This efficiency can enable faster site payments, thus improving clinician satisfaction and maintaining strong sponsor-site relationships.

FEATURES

Key features

The data validation assistance feature provides real-time, transparent validation and mapping of data from the EMR to the EDC, ensuring accuracy and instilling confidence in research sites.
The solution integrates seamlessly with existing EMR systems, maintaining a familiar interface for site staff. Using the FHIR standard, it ensures compatibility with leading EMR systems, facilitating easy integration without disrupting current workflows.
A team of experienced Data Managers oversees data mapping from various EMRs to the corresponding fields within the EDC system. This expert oversight reduces the risk of data mismatches and omissions, ensuring an accurate data transfer process.
Continuous data synchronization ensures that your EDC platform is always up-to-date with the latest patient information, enabling timely insights and decision-making.
Tailor the data transfer process to match your specific study protocols and study requirements for improved operational flexibility.
Whether you are managing a single-site study or a multi-center trial, this scalable solution can be adapted to your needs, providing reliable performance at any scale.
Our solution integrates with over 15 major EMR systems, including Epic and Cerner, across USA, EU, UK, and CHN, providing a robust infrastructure for multi-regional studies. We support general use and specialty EMR systems, ensuring comprehensive data coverage across diverse therapeutic areas.
Our integration supports a wide range of leading EDC systems, including Medidata Rave, Merative Zelta, and proprietary IQVIA platforms. This compatibility allows for flexibility and ease of integration, accommodating unique requirements of each study and facilitating smooth data transfer across systems.
