Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-storage media are provided for using a generic aliasing scheme to facilitate electronic transcription of groups of clinical event data extracted from an electronic medical record to case report forms associated with clinical studies. The generic aliasing scheme is also used to electronically transcribe documentation of task completion to case report forms associated with the clinical studies.
Claims6
One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of using a generic aliasing scheme to facilitate the electronic transcription of clinical event data extracted from an electronic medical record (EMR) to one or more case report forms associated with one or more clinical studies, the method comprising:
- defining the generic aliasing scheme that describes ways to group clinical event data stored in association with the EMR, the generic aliasing scheme useable by a plurality of disparate clinical studies, the generic aliasing scheme comprising at least:
- a first field for specifying an item group alias corresponding to a clinical event group, and
- a second field for specifying an item alias corresponding to an item of clinical event data within the clinical event group;
- receiving an input specifying the item group alias for the first field and receiving an input specifying the item alias for the second field to generate a specified aliasing scheme;
- extracting clinical event data from the EMR based on the specified aliasing scheme and grouping the extracted clinical event data into one or more groups based on the specified aliasing scheme;
- presenting the one or more groups of clinical event data on a user interface;
- receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more groups;
- and
- importing the selected group into one or more case report forms.
