Reduce Clinical Trial Burden with Flatiron Clinical Pipe™: EHR-to-EDC Integration

What You Should Know: 

– Flatiron Health, a healthcare technology company, today announced a collaboration with the University of Colorado Comprehensive Cancer Center (CU Cancer Center) and UCHealth to implement Flatiron Clinical Pipe™, an innovative solution that streamlines data capture for clinical trials. 

– The partnership aims to accelerate cancer research and improve patient care by reducing administrative burden and enhancing the efficiency of clinical studies.

Flatiron Clinical Pipe™

Flatiron Clinical Pipe™ is an electronic health record (EHR) to electronic data capture (EDC) connector that automates the transfer of clinical trial data from the EHR to the EDC system. This eliminates the need for manual data entry, which is often time-consuming and prone to errors.

Key features and benefits of Flatiron Clinical Pipe include: 

Reduced administrative burden: Eliminates manual data entry, freeing up research staff to focus on other critical tasks.

Improved accuracy: Reduces errors associated with manual data entry, ensuring data integrity and reliability.

Enhanced efficiency: Accelerates the clinical trial process by streamlining data capture and analysis.

Increased capacity: Enables research sites to conduct more clinical trials and enroll more patients.

Improved patient care: Allows clinicians to spend more time with patients and less time on administrative tasks.

Real-World Impact

Research published in ESMO Real-World Data and Digital Oncology demonstrates the significant impact of Flatiron Clinical Pipe. Users were able to transfer data in an average of 37 seconds, significantly faster than manual entry methods. The platform enabled the efficient transfer of thousands of data points, streamlining the clinical trial process.

“Collaborating with the CU Cancer Center and UCHealth, market-leading and innovative cancer care providers, is an incredible opportunity to advance our shared vision to reimagine how clinical trials are executed,” said Emily Akin, Head of Research Network at Flatiron Health. “Flatiron Clinical Pipe—currently in use at over 85 academic medical centers and community oncology sites, representing a network of over 300 unique locations—reduces the burden on clinical trial site teams, streamlines data management and accelerates study timelines.”
