Medidata Health Record Connect And Rave Companion: Bridging The Gap Between EHR And EDC

Clinical trial sites have long relied on manual, error-prone processes to transfer patient data from electronic health records (EHRs) into electronic data capture (EDC) systems, resulting in inefficiencies and increased query volumes. Medidata Health Record Connect and Rave Companion offer an integrated solution to streamline this workflow. Health Record Connect enables secure, compliant access to EHR data without requiring complex integration or mapping.

Rave Companion, embedded directly within Rave EDC, allows research coordinators to auto-populate EDC forms with verified EHR data—including lab results, vital signs, medications, and histories—in just a few clicks. Together, these tools accelerate data entry by up to 90%, minimize transcription errors, and reduce the need for source data verification (SDV). Users can search and filter full health records for unmatched data fields while maintaining a complete audit trail for regulatory compliance. This seamless, scalable solution alleviates site burden, enables faster study execution, and improves data quality across clinical trials.
