Benefits of technology

The patent describes methods, systems, and computer-storage media for using aliasing schemes to help clinical researchers electronically transcribe clinical data from electronic medical records (EMRs) to case report forms. The processor uses a generic aliasing scheme that includes a field to specify the type of clinical event, a field to specify a specific item of clinical data, and an optional field to specify how the data is grouped after extraction from the EMR. The processor then displays a user interface with the groups of clinical data and allows the researcher to select which ones to import to the case report form. The technical effect is improved efficiency and ease of use for extracting clinical data from EMRs for use in clinical studies.

Problems solved by technology

If a clinical study required more than this limited number of data elements, a custom program would have to be created—a time-consuming and expensive endeavor.
Moreover, previous programs were limited in that they were not designed to group clinical event data together or gather data regarding task documentation from the EMR.
For example, previous programs would be unable to gather data regarding whether informed consent was documented for a particular clinical study.

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for using a generic aliasing scheme to facilitate electronic transcription of groups of clinical event data extracted from an electronic medical record to case report forms associated with clinical studies. The generic aliasing scheme is also used to electronically transcribe documentation of task completion to case report forms associated with the clinical studies.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Clinical studies are scientific studies that test how a new medicine or a new treatment works in humans. Based on the outcomes of these studies, clinicians are able to find new and better ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, control, and treat diseases. Clinical studies often rely on clinical event data collected at healthcare facilities and stored in electronic medical record (EMR) systems associated with the healthcare facilities. Integrated data capture is used to electronically transcribe clinical event data culled from EMRs to case report forms associated with the clinical study. Previously, programs used by integrated data capture systems specified only a limited number of discrete data elements to pull from the EMR systems. If a clinical study required more than this limited number of data elements, a custom program would have to be created—a time-consuming and expensive endeavor. Moreover, previous programs were limited in that they were not designed to group c...
