Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR) transcend the health care field into a more accurate and efficient environment. Eclipse Clinical Technology leverages the InForm EDC web services adapter for two-way integration, facilitating seamless transmission of clinical trial data and queries between systems. This InForm EDC integration permits the integration with EHR an EMR systems to streamline data entry in clinical trials.
Electronic Medical Records
Electronic Medical Record (EMR) is a digital record of health-related information of a patient. EMRs facilitate workflow, improves the quality of both patient care and safety and determines treatment and or a diagnosis. The EMR system can track the data of a patient over a history and also allows for a baseline monitoring of a patient’s condition.

Using EHR in Clinical Trials
Using Electronic Health Record (EHR) in Clinical Trials help in effectively managing patient information and outcomes of clinical trials.
Benefits of using EHR in Clinical Trials:
- Patient Identification
- Cost and Time
- Recruitment and Consent
- Clinical Assessment
- Data Security
EHRs can screen and identify potential participants where organizations can recruit these participants suitable for a clinical trial. EHRs offer a more efficient measure of data-collection reducing its time and cost. Prescreening for eligibility and automatic selection is done through EHR before approaching any potential participant. Randomization of participants and informed consent can be done and obtained electronically. Outcomes of clinical trials can be recorded electronically, and organization can extract reports from the EHR database to access clinical outcome. The system manages patient information digitally where their information is secure and accessed only by authorized users.
