We are delighted to invite your organization to join the newly established eSource Scale-Up Vendor Reference Group, lead by the European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD) as part of the eSource Scale Up Task Force, our ambitious initiative to modernize and streamline clinical trials across Europe and beyond.
To mark the beginning of this collaborative journey, we are pleased to announce the upcoming Kick-Off Webinar, where we will officially outline the path forward.
eSource Scale-up Taskforce - Vendor Reference Group - Kick-off Webinar
Why This Matters Now
Clinical trials are entering a new era—and health data collected as part of routine care is at the heart of this transformation. As Europe scales up the reuse of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in regulated clinical research, "EHR as eSource" is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of smarter, faster, and more inclusive trials.
This shift is powered not only by hospitals and sponsors—but by the technologies that connect them. Vendors like yours are essential partners in enabling interoperable, scalable, and compliant data integration models.
The Vendor Reference Group will bring together vendors that are relevant in the enabling of the eSource capability such as EHR vendors, EDC providers, EHR-to-EDC middleware developers, eSource Infrastructure providers, and eSource Service Integrators to co-develop, validate, and implement the tools needed for large-scale adoption.
Benefits of Participation
As a member of the Vendor Reference Group, you will:
- Collaborate directly with hospitals and sponsors on operational guidance, use cases, and implementation blueprints
- Shape the evolution of vendor-neutral eSource integration patterns aligned with global standards such as HL7® FHIR® and CDISC
- Gain early insight into regulatory expectations and interoperability benchmarks through the Task Force’s KPI and Playbook deliverables
- Enhance your positioning as a strategic eSource enabler within a growing ecosystem of digitally mature sites and leading sponsors
You will also be part of a consensus-driven process to co-author outputs such as white papers, annexes to the eSource Playbook, and technical checklists that are already in use across our Hospital and Sponsor Reference Groups.
