EMR to EDC Integration: Applications, Challenges and Operational Considerations

EMR to EDC Integration refers to the process of transferring data from Electronic Medical Records (EMR), which are used in healthcare settings to maintain patient health records, to Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems, which are specialized databases used in clinical trials to collect and manage study data. This integration aims to automate data transfer, enhancing… Continue reading EMR to EDC Integration: Applications, Challenges and Operational Considerations
