Health Record Connect
Medidata Health Record Connect is an EHR (electronic health record) integration and interoperability engine for securely and compliantly acquiring, transforming, and exchanging EHR data.
It powers a whole new level of collaboration and visibility into a patient’s critical healthcare information. Leveraging a multi-pronged approach to connectivity, Health Record Connect ensures that the right data from the right site and patient can be securely acquired, transformed, and presented to the appropriate users in a single user experience.
Key Features and Benefits of Medidata Health Record Connect
Clinical Research as a Treatment Option
Clinical trials are necessary treatment/care options (known as Clinical Research as a Care Option or CRAACO) for many patients. In some cases, interventional clinical trials are the only remaining treatment option for a patient. As the lines between lifelong healthcare data and the subset of the data required in a trial continue to blur, we must get smarter and more effective at engaging patients long-term and ensuring their care teams have the most complete data to inform their clinical decision-making.
The capacity to manage a greater variety of complex data from a broader range of sources is no longer optional—it’s imperative. This is more than a vision; it’s a commitment to patients that we will advance research and healthcare as quickly and safely as possible by using every part of the data ecosystem available to us.
Bridging Healthcare and Clinical Research
Read MoreMedidata Health Record Connect works with Rave Companion to present matching EHR data to clinical trial sites as they complete Rave EDC forms. This dramatically speeds up data entry where the clinical trial forms require data that already exists in the patient’s healthcare record while ensuring that the site always has a complete set of information to inform their clinical decisions. The site’s eyes are always on the data, and nothing is submitted to Rave EDC until the site saves the form.
Connectivity to Any Healthcare System
Connects to any healthcare system, using whatever protocol or standard is appropriate for each site, enabling quicker startup times and higher adoption rates.
Leverages National and Local HIEs and Networks
Out-of-the-box scalability with connectivity to a wide range of healthcare organizations and physician practices through Health Information Exchanges (HIEs). No need to create one connection at a time.
Support for FHIR, CCDA, DICOM, and HL7
Works with any format or protocol, including those commonly used to communicate healthcare information across the USA.
Bi-directional Data Transformations
Leverage site healthcare data across all Medidata applications, regardless of communication format.
Longitudinal Patient Insights
By pulling in data from multiple sources, users get a full view of the patient’s history, not just information from their own site, enabling richer patient insights.
Wide Range of Treatment Workflows and Use Cases
Medidata Health Record Connect powers a wide range of workflows and use cases including, but not limited to, Medidata Surgical Planning, real-world data (RWD) aggregation and insights, and data collaboration within a clinical trial* using Rave Companion.
*Note: For interventional trials only. All users must be employed by the institution in which the data is accessed, under the supervision of a physician or PI (principal investigator) at all times, and be involved in the monitoring of safety events and study outcomes for patients enrolled in research.

FAQ
Does Health Record Connect require complex integration with each site’s EHR?
No. The solution is designed for out-of-the-box scalability, capable of connecting to a wide range of healthcare organizations and physician practices through health information exchanges (HIEs) without requiring a separate connection for each. It connects to healthcare systems using whatever protocol or standard is appropriate for each site, enabling quicker startup times and higher adoption rates.
How does Health Record Connect accelerate clinical trial data entry?
Health Record Connect integrates with Rave Companion to present matching EHR data to clinical trial sites as they complete Rave EDC forms. This dramatically speeds up the process by allowing sites to populate forms with data that already exists in the patient's record, while ensuring the site maintains control over what is submitted to the EDC.
What workflows does Health Record Connect support beyond standard data entry?
In addition to facilitating data collaboration within a clinical trial via Rave Companion, Health Record Connect powers a wide range of other workflows. These include Medidata Surgical Planning and real-world data (RWD) aggregation, allowing for broader utility across the clinical development lifecycle.
Does Medidata offer training for its clients and partners?
