OnCore RPE Integration with EMRNew process for updating patient status in the EMR (electronic medical record) / PowerTrials

• Protocol is registered in OnCore• Patient is consented and status updated in OnCore• OnCore sends Protocol and subject information is sent from to

PowerTrials. • PowerTrials turns on a notice in the EMR banner page to indicate a

patient is participating in a clinical study. • This allows any healthcare provider logged into the EMR system to view

protocol details. This is a valuable subject safety feature, and it reduces research staff burden and errors.
