Flatiron: The University of Colorado Cancer Center and Flatiron Health Announce Collaboration to Drive More Efficient Clinical Trials

Flatiron Health announced a collaboration to enable Flatiron Clinical Pipe?? at the University of Colorado Cancer Center (CU Cancer Center) and their clinical care partner UCHealth. Flatiron Clinical Pipe??, a cutting-edge electronic health record (EHR) to electronic data capture (EDC) connector, improves efficiency and reduces time and effort of clinical study data capture. The collaboration between Flatiron Health, the CU Cancer Center and UCHealth is using technology to improve access to and efficiency of clinical studies and research. Through Flatiron's integration with UCHealth's EHR, Flatiron Clinical Pipe?? will enable researchers to avoid time-consuming, error-prone, duplicative data entry tasks by enabling the direct transfer of data from the EHR to EDC. Reducing site burden and improving study efficiencies will enable sites like CU Cancer Center and UCHealth to conduct more trials for their patients and to streamline clinical trial data acquisition for sponsors, ultimately accelerating evidence generation and improvements in care for people with cancer. Research published in ESMO Real-World Data and Digital Oncology found that teams using Flatiron Clinical Pipe?? were to transfer 11,342 individual data points, representing 955 unique case report form (CRF) submissions, with the average time of 37s for a user to launch, complete, and submit a CRF (range 15-59 secs). Reducing the amount of time spent on administrative tasks to drive more efficient clinical trials enables providers to spend more meaningful time with patients, improving the care experience for all involved.
