“UC San Francisco (UCSF), in collaboration with the Quantum Leap Healthcare Collaborative (QLHC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has deployed an EHR integration that aims to streamline health data for clinical research trials.”
“OneSource is an electronic data capture (EDC) system based on open-source data EHR integration standards. The EHR integration allows the clinician or patient to enter clinical data at the point of care only once.”
“The healthcare organization can then use that single entry for trials, quality improvement, and research. The system also automates the transfer of labs, demographic information, and concurrent medications to clinical trial and registry data systems.”
“’Getting the OneSource system implemented is an important step forward,’ Heidi Collins, vice president of clinical systems at UCSF, said in a press release. ‘Tools that can seamlessly work across any electronic medical record system will make it possible for data to effortlessly flow to trials and registries and serve quality improvement efforts across the medical center.'”
“UCSF initially conceived the framework with support from the FDA. QLHC further developed the software for production implementation at eight QLHC-sponsored I-SPY COVID TRIAL sites. OneSource enabled a 30 to 50 percent improved turnaround time for data completion associated with the trial endpoint at those sites.”
“By mid-2022, the organizations hope to have the EHR integration operational across 35 sites participating in I-SPY 2.2 (for breast cancer) and I-SPY COVID trials…” Read the full article here.
