Enable a study for Electronic Health Record (EHR) data import

Enable EHR data import for a study so site users can import EHR data into Oracle Clinical One Platform forms, which can save site users time and improve data quality by reducing data entry mistakes.

Once you enable a study,
  • The label Oracle Clinical Connector Enabled appears on the General tab under Study Settings. For more information, see Open the study's settings.
  • Study designers see the EHR Mapping setting on the Advanced side panel, allowing them to map form questions to EHR data elements in an Oracle-managed data dictionary.

What EHR data can be imported?

The Oracle Clinical Connector (OCC) data dictionary contains the values that a study designer selects from when mapping a form question for EHR data import. Oracle maintains the dictionary and updates it with each release when applicable, guaranteeing study designers have access to the most recent mapping options and code lists.

The EHR data categories available for mapping and data import include the following:
  • Demographics
  • Medical History
  • Medications
  • Labs
  • Vitals
  • Procedures

How do I implement EHR data import for a study?

  1. The sponsor reaches out to their Oracle point of contact to request Oracle Clinical Connector (OCC) enablement for a study.

    Note:

    Once enabled, you can test EHR data import using test data. For more information, see Test the EHR data import.
  2. The study designer maps form questions to EHR data elements. For more information, see Map form questions for EHR data import.
  3. The sponsor associates an EHR connector instance with participating sites. For more information, see Enable and manage your EHR site connections.

    Note:

    If more connector instances are required for new sites, the sponsor should reach out to their Oracle point of contact.
  4. The site user links subjects to their Medical Record Number (MRN). For more information, see Link subjects for EHR data import.

Site users can now import subject EHR data. For more information, see Import EHR data.
