Nextrials Helps Physicians More Easily Initiate Clinical Data Registries Through Prism(R)'s Integration With Electronic Health Records
Prism's Features for Information Sharing Between EHRs and Clinical Research Systems to Be Demonstrated at the HIMSS13 Interoperability Showcase(TM)
(firmenpresse) - SAN RAMON, CA and NEW ORLEANS, LA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- . (), a leader in clinical research software and services, will demonstrate the interoperability of its Prism® clinical trial management platform with platforms used for electronic health records (EHR) at the . This year, the company will emphasize how physicians could potentially use Prism to participate in medical research by initiating access to within their practices, something the new American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 encourages through financial incentives.
According to the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, 85 percent of today's clinical trials are facing delays due to patient recruitment. If physicians and private clinics establish patient registries containing patient characteristics, patterns of care and outcomes -- information already being collected by EHRs -- researchers could then access that data. It would open up huge new pools of potential participants for upcoming studies and help researchers better understand healthcare expenditures.
"With family physician , an integrated data platform such as the one offered by Nextrials presents new opportunities for healthcare providers and researchers," said James Rogers, CEO and co-founder of Nextrials. "We've demonstrated that an integrated EHR/EDC platform such as Prism can pre-identify sites with appropriate patients and facilitate patient randomization, resulting in lower study costs. Now, clinics and physicians that have never participated in medical research can do it easily, without a major increase in IT cost -- providing researchers with a bigger pool of potential participants. It's a win-win."
