What is an Electronic Health Record (EHR)?
An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a digital version of a patient’s medical history that is created and maintained by healthcare providers over time. It includes information such as demographics, diagnoses, medications, allergies, laboratory results, and clinical notes, and is designed to support ongoing patient care across healthcare settings.
Where is it used in clinical trials?
In clinical trials, Electronic Health Records (EHR) are used at healthcare sites to support patient identification, feasibility assessments, and participant recruitment. EHR data helps investigators review medical history, confirm eligibility criteria, and document baseline information. During the study, relevant data, such as diagnoses, medications, laboratory results, and clinical outcomes, may be reviewed or sourced from the EHR to support study assessments, safety evaluations, and monitoring activities.
How does Clinion implement it?
Clinion uses its eSource and EHR integration modules to implement Electronic Health Record (EHR) access in clinical trials. These modules allow study teams to securely view, extract, and use patient data from EHR systems directly within Clinion’s platform, supporting eligibility checks, baseline assessments, and ongoing monitoring without leaving the system.
What does it look like in practice?
In practice, using Electronic Health Records (EHR) with Clinion means that investigators or site staff can access a patient’s medical history, lab results, medications, and other relevant clinical data directly through the platform. This data is reviewed electronically to confirm eligibility, capture baseline information, and monitor patient progress. Integration with EHRs reduces manual data entry, ensures accuracy, and allows monitors to track and verify information efficiently in real time.
