Prof. Dr. C. Ohmann, CCCT 2 Data interoperability – short term practical solutions : IT perspective - aim of the presentation -  differences between medical care and clinical research  status of interoperability  benefits/challenges of interoperability  models and standards for data interoperability  examples of data interoperability  summary

Prof. Dr. C. Ohmann, CCCT 3 EHR and clinical research: different worlds  different targets  different regulations  different processes, actors, roles  different ontologies, classifications, terminologies  different and distributed databases  different software solutions

Prof. Dr. C. Ohmann, CCCT 9 EHR and clinical research: benefits of interoperability  similar needs and goals of healthcare industry and biopharmaceutical industry  improve patient safety and access to treatment  reduce costs for clinical trials (reduce redundant data entry, queries, source data verification)  speed up trials by improving patient recruitment with access to clinical data  improve workflow and increase quality of clinical trials (e.g. reduce data transcription errors, improve timeliness of data, facilitate information flow, increase personnel efficiency)

Prof. Dr. C. Ohmann, CCCT 10 EHR and clinical research: requirements/challenges  harmonisation of standards between health care and research (common data standards, data transfer standards, standard interfaces, etc.)  common regulations and guidelines for privacy, security, record integrating  cooperation between biopharmaceutical and health care industries, between EDC and EHR System vendors  modification of regulatory guidelines to support the use of eSource  application of FDA 21 CFR part 11 and other rules/regulations fo EHR
