ChallengesYou want to match patients who might benefit from a treatment that is now still in the clinical trials stage. You also must manage and generate reports on all the clinical trial data being collected. It’s a complicated landscape to navigate without expert assistance.
Our SolutionOur MedicsDocAssistant EHR matches your patients with clinical trials, then provides the reports and data needed by your practice and the sponsoring company. You’ll be helping patients with newly developed therapies, and at the same time, obtain what it is usually very significant revenue from the sponsoring company.
MedicsDocAssistant v.7.0 is a Stage 2 MU certified, ICD-10 compliant, industry-leading EHR for so many innovative, unique, and game-changing reasons, including its ability to comprehensively automate the complicated world of clinical trials for investigators (physicians) and practices (sites).
Through its unique EHR data-driven patient approach, MedicsDocAssistant not only has the ability to match relevant clinical trials to clinical outcomes and metrics, it can also identify patients (patient recruitment) who might benefit from a particular clinical trial based on diagnosis and any specific criteria related to the trial’s parameters.
For those practices interested in being considered for a study, MedicsDocAssistant supports continuous monitoring, data gathering, protocol design, and execution. The system minimizes protocol failure while it adds to / increases the revenue stream in an ambulatory setting based upon funds that are generally available from Sponsors (pharmaceutical companies) when their clinical trials are prescribed.
An integrated Source Document Component for protocol customization is available in MedicsDocAssistant. Components such as the Electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) and the Clinical Trials Management System (CTMS) with milestone reporting are also available.
The system’s automated clinical trial data collecting and management capabilities creates a truly simplified method in evaluating your patient population group by zeroing in on patients who may be eligible for clinical trials. Recruitment potential by your practice is greatly enhanced through these MedicsDocAssistant tools.
Based on the protocol’s criteria and historical data in MedicsDocAssistant, the system’s Clinical Trial Alert (CTA) mechanism is enabled to determine suitable patients.
Selecting Option 1 automatically transmits a secure message from within the MedicsDocAssistant EHR to the Trial Coordinator. This message includes a link to the patient’s electronic medical chart and a Consent Workflow to confirm the patient’s permission to review the chart to further determine eligibility.
Based on the Consent Workflow, the coordinator has tasks set to call the patient after chart review, as well as a follow up processes for potentially eligible patients for further evaluation.
A referral order is printed along with discharge instructions containing general trial-related information at checkout. Post visit instructions advise the patient to expect contact from the trial’s coordinator within two weeks regarding their eligibility. It also contains a reminder that the patient is not obligated should they decide not to proceed.
The presence of a referral order intelligently prevents the CTA mechanism from triggering future contact with the patient for the same trial.
MedicsDocAssistant will keep track of physicians contributing to trial recruitment as well as physician-generated referrals and enrollment rates. Descriptive analyses can be generated by the practice showing the physicians participating in recruitment, and their monthly recruitment rates.
Because the system’s ability to identify and recruit patients is so exceptional, the results are equally so in terms of:
