How the CDR Works

The strength of the CT Select™ (Clinical Trials Select) model is the proprietary architecture of our Clinical Data Repository (CDR). Our CDR is a robust, content-rich source of HIPAA-compliant, de-identified patient data. It can be accessed for the rapid identification of specific research populations and their locations within our CT Select network of investigators.

Our CDR receives data input from the multiple sources:

• Research site's:
• Electronic Medical Records
• Practice Management Billing System
• Laboratory Information System
• Hospital data on patients within the research site
• Personal Health Records provided by the patients
  (The data includes patient demographics, lab results, medications, vitals, immunizations, diagnoses, problem histories, etc.)

The result is a comprehensive collection of information that can be used to identify specific patient types as defined by the inclusion/exclusion criteria in a clinical protocol.

Our CDR:

• Is highly efficient, taking as little as two to four hours for urgent requests.
• Can reduce or, in many cases, eliminate the time and expense of patient recruitment programs.
• Is cost effective. The cost to utilize our CDR is included in our site budgets, enabling you to reduce the cost of patient identification.
• Supports early feasibility, early patient selection on active trials, or the identification of rescue sites with existing patients needed for rapid enrollment.
