Summary
Mount Sinai's Tisch Cancer Center is enhancing clinical research efficiency by automating the transfer of clinical data from its Epic electronic health record (EHR) system to clinical trial platforms using IgniteData's Archer platform. This integration reduces manual data entry, previously a source of transcription errors and delays, improving data quality and streamlining the workflow for research teams. By employing HL7's FHIR standard, the system enables secure, real-time data sharing, which has led to a reported 70% reduction in manual transcription time during pilot tests. This innovation not only boosts operational efficiency but also allows for quicker analysis of safety and research data in oncology trials, a significant advancement for healthcare professionals engaged in clinical research.
