EMR/EHRs: Utilization of Electronic Health Record (EHR) Data for Clinical Research
-EMR/EHR:临床研究之电子健康记录(EHR)数据的利用-

The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, EHR-incentive rule and eMeaningful use objective/measures' guidelines have the potential to accelerate the utilization of EHR/EMRs by healthcare providers and institutions. Patients, Providers, Manufacturers and Payors are expected to benefit from improved public health decision-support delivered through effective use of this type of evidence. In this workshop, we discuss the potential benefits and risks involved in mining information outside of controlled trials to create insights on diseases, drugs, and patient populations and to optimize the conduct of clinical trials. Key topics to be addressed:
• Using EHRs to support clinical trial protocol design and optimization
• Mining large EHR databases to support site identification through regional geographic heat maps
• Leveraging EHRs for data-driven patient identification and recruitment: learning from the experience from a clinical research site
• Understanding the limitations
• Recognizing the benefits and complexities of EHR–EDC integration
• Navigating rules, regulations and policy: a US, EU and healthcare institution's perspective
