EHR to EDC

Data flows from the EHR to MyLinks then to ResearchLink with patient consent.

  • The 21st Century Cures Act requires all EHRs and health organizations to give patients immediate access to their data using HL7® FHIR® applications (MyLinks) at no cost. Patients are then free to share their data with whomever they wish, including ResearchLink. This removes the need for lengthy data requests and contracts with health organizations. FHIR also provides valuable metadata elements to verify mapping accuracy and provenance.

  • Research team views the data in near real time within ResearchLink, and with two clicks, sends the data into the EDC.
  • All data has provenance with all actions logged, 21 CFR Part 11 and HIPAA compliant.

Seamlessly Transfer Patient Data from EHR to EDC with Our Patient-Facing FHIR App

Welcome to a new era of clinical trial data management. Our innovative patient-facing Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) application empowers participants to securely transfer their electronic health record (EHR) data directly to the Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system, streamlining the research process and enhancing data accuracy. Join us in revolutionizing clinical research with patient-mediated data exchange.

Why Choose Patient Data Transfer via FHIR App?
