Rave Companion
Too much time is spent re-entering the same data across disconnected systems. Manual transcription slows studies, increases errors, and pulls focus away from patients.
Medidata Rave Companion is built directly into Medidata Rave EDC, enabling EHR data to populate EDC forms in just a few clicks—no system switching, no duplicate entry, no rework.
From EHR to EDC, Seamlessly
Sites can start using Rave Companion immediately, without a heavy IT lift or time‑consuming data mapping, accelerating data entry while improving accuracy and efficiency.

What Sites Are Saying
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.

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.

FAQ
Does Rave Companion require complex integration with site EHR systems?
No. Rave Companion uses Medidata Health Record Connect to link with site healthcare systems using whatever protocol is appropriate, allowing sites to start using it immediately without complex EHR integration or data mapping. It offers out-of-the-box scalability with connectivity to a wide range of healthcare organizations and physician practices.
How does the tool help reduce data entry errors?
Rave Companion allows sites to automatically populate Rave EDC forms with data directly from the patient’s EHR, including lab results, vital signs, and medications. This automation reduces manual data entry, accelerating form completion by over 90% and resulting in fewer transcription errors and queries.
Do sites need to install separate software to use Rave Companion?
No. Rave Companion is built directly into Rave EDC, eliminating the need for additional software installations or separate logins. This unified experience prevents users from having to toggle between different systems, reducing IT burden and streamlining the workflow.
Can Rave Companion help reduce the need for source data verification (SDV)?
Yes. All actions taken to populate forms with EHR data are fully audited, tracking who, when, and how data was entered. This full traceability allows sponsors and CROs to use the solution as part of a strategy to reduce the need for manual SDV, alongside Medidata’s Targeted SDV solutions.
Does Medidata offer training for its clients and partners?
