Streamline Data Entry with EHR-to-EDC Software
Rave Companion simplifies clinical trial data entry by allowing sites to automatically populate Rave EDC forms with EHR (electronic health record) data in just a few clicks, saving time and reducing errors. No more toggling between systems or manually re-entering information.
Unlike other EHR-to-EDC solutions, Rave Companion is the only solution built directly into Rave EDC, eliminating the need for additional software installations and logins. Using a unique approach to healthcare data interoperability, sites can start using it immediately without complex EHR integration and data mapping, gaining efficiency without added IT burden.

Benefits of Rave Companion
Make Data Entry Faster and Easier for Sites
Enable your sites to dramatically reduce the time they spend re-entering data by quickly, easily, and accurately populating Rave EDC forms with EHR data. Rave Companion (with Medidata Health Record Connect) accelerates form completion by over 90%.
Get Cleaner Clinical Trial Data, Faster
Rave Companion reduces manual data entry, resulting in fewer errors. Fewer errors means fewer queries need to be raised by your CRAs and Data Managers and resolved by your sites.
Reduce SDV
Because Rave Companion (with Medidata Health Record Connect) enables automated population of Rave EDC forms with EHR data, sponsors and CROs can use this capability as part of their strategy to reduce the need for SDV (source data verification) alongside Medidata’s Targeted SDV (TSDV) solution.
“Rave Companion has been really helpful in reducing my time and frustration with data entry. It’s easy to use and always on top when I need it. It was simple to get started, and it helps me focus less on the manual burden of data entry and more on delivering great clinical research.”
– Melanie Curole, Sr. Research Coordinator, Velocity Clinical Research
“I’ve been using [Medidata] Health Record Connect for a few months now. It’s just such an exciting new feature that Medidata has, as far as being able to take medical records and put them into Medidata [Rave EDC] for accuracy and speed purposes. I’ve really loved just being able to click, and then my records are in Medidata. It’s helpful, it’s fast, and saves time. I’ve been doing this for 12 years, so just the fact I can do it very quickly, it’s just life-changing.”
– Melissa Thomas, Research Data Coordinator, Huntsman Cancer Institute, University of Utah
Key Features of Rave Companion
Auto-populate Rave EDC Forms with EHR Data
Automatically populate Rave EDC forms with lab results, vital signs, medications, medical history, and social history data from the patient’s EHR. Select a single visit date or EHR value, and fill out the form with all the relevant EHR values from the same date.
Search, Filter, and View Complete Health Record
For EDC form fields for which there is no automatically matched EHR data, the patient’s health record can be searched and results filtered to find the correct value; for completing fields that require option selections, view the patient’s complete health record to quickly find the right answer.
Maintain Audit Trail
All actions for completing Rave EDC forms with EHR data are audited, including who, when, how (selected, auto-populated, manual), and the value entered/changed. This allows full traceability and can help decide which data points do/do not require SDV (source data verification).
Scale to All Your Sites and Studies
Rave Companion is available within Rave EDC; no installation is required. Its engine to access EHR data, Medidata Health Record Connect, is connected to the patient health records of over 90% of the top clinical research sites and thousands more healthcare institutions, making it the most easily scalable and quick-to-get-started EHR-to-EDC solution available.

Myth Busting: EHR to EDC
Moving data from Electronic Health Records (EHR) to Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems in clinical trials involves several misconceptions that can complicate the process.
Watch how an EHR to EDC interoperability engine like Medidata Health Record Connect and Rave Companion work together ensuring clinical trial sites can easily and quickly populate Rave EDC forms with source data from other systems (e.g., EHR, CTMS, eSource) and documents (e.g., lab values in a spreadsheet).
Solving the EHR to EDC Challenge – A Scalable-First Approach
We all know about the data entry or re-entry burden our clinical trials place on our sites. Much of that data may already exist in the EHR (electronic health record) system. This white paper explores the importance of solving the EHR to EDC data re-entry challenge; why we’ve struggled to solve the problem at scale; how regulatory and technology tailwinds make a scalable solution possible; and introduces Medidata’s solution, Medidata Health Record Connect and Rave Companion.
