findings, observations, or other activities in a clinical trial necessary for the

reconstruction and evaluation of the trial. Source data are contained in source documents

(original records or certified copies)

Source Document - Original documents, data, and records (e.g., hospital records, clinical

and office charts, laboratory notes, memoranda, subjects' diaries or evaluation checklists,

pharmacy dispensing records, recorded data from automated instruments, copies or

transcriptions certified after verification as being accurate and complete, microfiches,

photographic negatives, microfilm or magnetic media, x-rays, subject files, and records

kept at the pharmacy, at the laboratories, and at medico-technical departments involved in

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.

Developed by the UH Clinical Research Center SOP Committee 3

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.

Measures should be taken to prevent any premature or accidental destruction.

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.

Select “Unspecified Research Medication” from the medication dictionary. Comments can be added

(e.g. study drug name/placebo).

*Please note, the system cannot check for drug to drug interactions when using medications listed as

“Unspecified Research Medication”.

Scanning of Research Informed Consent and Other Research Document______________________

Scanning documents is a separate application but makes documents available in UHCare. Once

documents are scanned they can be put into patient specific folders. Documents can be filed in the

“Research” or other folders.

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.
