the clinical trial)
5. POLICY STATEMENT:
Accurate and complete documentation is the cornerstone of Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
and permits an observer to recreate a subject’s participation in a research study and to
account for the use of any investigational products.
Source documentation must be kept in accordance with FDA regulations (21 CFR 11, 21
CFR50.25, 21 CFR 312.62 (b), 21 CFR 812.140 (a) (3) guidelines), Guidance for Industry:
Electronic Source Data in Clinical Investigations, FDA BIMO Chapter 48-Biomedical
Monitoring Program 7348.811, and ICH GCP E6.
6. PROCEDURES:
A. Medical Record Access
1. Access to the medical record is based on job function.
2. If your entity utilizes an EMR, access to the medical record is granted when
an employee’s UH Manager submits an e-security request. The type of access
granted is dependent on the employee’s job function, UH Policy CP-44 -
UHCare Training for Clinical Staff.
3. Training must be completed prior to accessing or documenting in the medical
record. See Training and Job Aids UHCare Home Page
4. Orders can only be written by medically qualified and authorized study
personnel, in accordance with UH Research SOP GA – 104 Scope of Practice.

B. Research Registration/Scheduling 1. All research subjects seen onsite at UH facilities must be registered and given
a medical record number if they don’t already have one. “Research insurance” must be placed in the primary insurance position for any clinical study-related DOS, in accordance with UH Policy R-2 Patient Billing under Research Grants.
i. The registration process for a new UH patient assigns them a singleunique medical record number in accordance with UH Policy GM-71 – Patient Access Service (PAS).
2. Research related appointments must be scheduled in the hospital or entityscheduling system.
i. Scheduling at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center(UHCMC) must occur in Athena and/or Soarian, depending uponwhether technical or professional patient care services will beprovided.
ii. Registration and scheduling instructions are located in Appendix C –“Registration Workflow: Athena/ Soarian Research Documentation”.
C. HIPAA and Research 1. Parts of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
regulations are designed to ensure research patients’ privacy and the security of the information we use and retain within UHCMC and regional offices.
2. Researchers accessing, using or retaining protected health information (PHI) ofUHCMC patients must abide by the UHCMC’s HIPAA-related policies.
3. Restricted/Confidential Records follow organizational guidelines for restrictedrecords (i.e., Browns players, public figures, infectious disease and psychiatricpatients).
In accordance with UH Policy GM-61 Accessing Medical Records (Section 12.3 research records), PH-3 - Permitted Uses/ Disclosures of PHI (Section 2.11 – for research), PH-4 Authorizations for Use and Disclosure of PHI (Section 7.1 – Research), PH-23 – Psychotherapy Notes, R-3 Uses & Disclosures of PHI for Research.
E. Research Documents 1. All original source and essential research documents must be retained.

2. A copy of research records should be maintained in the EMR if applicable per
institutional policy or at the discretion of the investigator to ensure adequate
subject safety.
3. When original observations are entered directly into a computerized system, the
electronic record is the source document. This requirement applies to the
retention of the original source document, or a copy of the source document.

UHCare Ambulatory Scan
UHCare Ambulatory Scan Overview
The Scan module is an electronic imaging and chart management application. It is used to transfer written documents such as consults, some test results, journal articles (for reference), and other pertinent chart information into an electronic format.
Scanned documents are indexed to the appropriate patient for the appropriate visit and under the correct document type.
Scanned documents may then be viewed from the Clinical Desktop.
