Automated Data Transfer For Cancer Clinical Trials Offers Time And Resource Savings

High data collection requirements for cancer clinical trials place a significant burden on site staff, resulting in inefficiencies and delays caused by manual data entry into EDC systems. This process results in avoidable errors and queries, extending reporting timeliness and adding inefficiencies to the data management process.

EHR-to-EDC connectors, or applications that automate the transfer of data from electronic health records to EDC systems, offer a solution.

In a recent study presented at ASCO, researchers aimed to evaluate the impact of deploying an EHR-to-EDC connector, Flatiron Clinical Pipe™, across multiple multi-center Phase 1 cancer clinical trials, assessing its effectiveness in streamlining study data capture processes.

The study confirmed that EHR-to-EDC software facilitates automated transfer of a meaningful volume of patient data quickly and efficiently —the average CRF submission took only 43 seconds — offering significant time and resource savings.
