The EHR2EDC outcomes
- A proven way for clinical trial investigators within a hospital to transfer EHR data into their clinical trial Electronic Data Capture system, avoiding significant duplicative effort, time and errors
- Improved connections between EHR and Electronic Data Capture systems:
- published standard mappings
- a governance and quality assessment that meets regulatory rules
- a system architecture design
- A programme that can support hospitals to enhance their EHR system use and data quality, so they can increase the value of their data for their own use, achieve quality improvement and facilitate research.
