Creating a Research and Clinical Care Partnership through EMR and Clinical Research System Integration
نویسندگان
چکیده
EMRs are essential in modern healthcare. At the same time there has been the rapid development of clinical research systems (CRS) which offer specific tools to facilitate research protocol development, execution and management. However, examples of integrating a commercial EMR and CRS are rare. We describe our experience in the analysis, resolution of issues, design, and implementation of EMR/CR integration in a large academic medical center with affiliated hospitals. Our initial results suggest that (1) neither the EMR nor CRS system alone will suffice to facilitate clinical research, (2) there are important benefits to integration of the EMR and CRS systems and (3) this integration can be leveraged across multiple institutions.
