Automating Patient Data Extraction for Clinical Research Efficiency

A clinical research organization was undertaking many clinical trials and really needed fast and streamlined access to patient charts that were preserved under separate systems of electronic health records. Manual extraction was too long and prone to error as well, and hence the collection and processing of data surpassed deadlines.  Automate the extraction process and download of patient charts from Individual EHR systems.To automate this firstly we need to Identify the type of data required from the patient about their clinical trials, such as demographics, Summary, medical history, lab reports, and medication orders and extract them.IT and Compliance teams engaged to ensure that all operations were in compliance with the regulationsEHR Systems Analysis, Workflow Development, Data Extraction, Document Management, Validation and Error Handling ,Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations (e.g., HIPAA).Identify the system (Web /  Citrix / Remote ) and automate accordingly.The Client has been satisfied with below benefits , Firstly, It reduces the time taken by researchers to download charts of patients from more than 70% to make them focus on analysis rather than data retrieval.Then,Data accuracy: This was achieved at 98%, which is totally on the efforts to reduce manual entry and output errors. Then, Maintaining strict compliance with regulations in data privacy regulation ensured that patient information was handled in a safe manner throughout the process. Then the Patient Data Extraction count has been increased 200%.
