Global Technologies Introduces
Medical Record Management Services
for Clinical Trials at American
Society of Clinical Oncology
CHICAGO, IL, May 30, 2008 - Today
at the annual meeting of the American
Society of Clinical Oncology,
eHealth Global Technologies introduced
a new medical record management
service, eHealthConnect for Clinical
Trials. By using the latest technology
and digital standards, eHealthConnect
for Clinical Trials brings together
scattered patient records and
imaging needed for clinical trials,
regardless of location and format.
eHealthConnect for Clinical
Trials is a service with enhanced
workflow to support the specific
needs of Clinical Trials benefiting
trial sponsors, participants
and examiners.
The solution is based on the
company's industry-leading service,
eHealthConnect, which replaces
ad hoc data collection with
a systematic method that is
reliable and swift. Upon request
from a clinician or administrator,
eHealth Global's world-class
Clinical Customer Service team
collects, digitizes, organizes,
stores and secures medical records
for prompt utilization by clinical
trial participants and reviewers.
"Patient information must
be readily accessible and available
to examiners and clinicians
in a useable format to help
identify the most qualified
participants and also ensure
a safe, effective trial evaluation
process," said Michael
Margiotta, Chief Executive Officer,
eHealth Global Technologies.
"This service represents
one answer for facilities seeking
to turn patient information
into clinical knowledge for
evaluation during the clinical
trial or at the point of care."
Central to the service is the
ability to integrate and provide
accessibility of data into the
trial sites' and contract research
organization's information systems,
including EMR and PACS. All
digitized information is sent
to a facility's internal systems
over a virtual private network
(VPN), ensuring patient privacy
and the security of data. In
addition, for pre-market and
investigational trials, full
21 CFR Part 11 compliant solutions
are offered. eHealth Global,
through its professional services
group, also provides custom
interfaces.
