Medidata's Rave Companion reduces data re-entry efforts for clinical trial sites, increases data quality, and lowers monitoring costs by making it much simpler and faster to get source data from other electronic systems/ documents, including EHR (electronic health record) systems into Rave EDC. Rave Companion eliminates the need for back-and-forth between windows and dramatically reduces the need for retyping data from another source into Rave EDC.

Unlike EHR-to-EDC integration approaches that require point-to-point connections and complex mapping between systems, Rave Companion is much simpler and faster to implement, making it very scalable, and it is not limited to EHR data. Unlike solutions that try to completely automate the EHR to EDC data transfer, with Rave Companion, the clinical trial site has complete control of what data is s aved into Rave EDC.

One clinical trial site using Rave Companion saw the time to complete a complex EDC form decrease by 44-times, from 22 minutes spent on manual data entry to 0.5 minutes. By reducing the time spent on entering data and resolving queries, trial site personnel can focus on spending time on more valuable clinical research and patient care tasks, and sponsors and CROs get access to higher-quality data faster.

”The number of data points collected as part of a clinical trial has increased exponentially, and sites are looking for scalable and easy-to-use solutions to connect to their EHR and reduce data entry. Rave Companion is an elegant solution that helps sites utilize existing data from any EHR system instead of re-entering it for clinical trials purposes.”

Dan Braga, the Vice President of EHR Solutions and Healthcare at Medidata.

Highlights
  • Rave Companion is available to all sites and studies using Rave EDC with a simple set-up procedure for clinical trial site users.
  • Rave Companion does not require protocol mapping and uses a multi-pronged approach to accessing patient health record data via Medidata Health Record Connect. Medidata Health Record Connect uses multiple industry standards to create clinical site connections. Once the site has been connected, it can be leveraged across any sponsor, any study, with no additional integration.
  • Rave Companion uniquely assists the clinical trial site user in completing EDC forms, not only through the presentation of the patient’s structured health record data (via Medidata Health Record Connect) but also by completing other fields in the form while taking the form alongside any source application or document. Using Rave Companion, the user is assisted in completing the whole form, and not just the parts that are populated with EHR data.
