EMR from Prespective of Pharma

Pharma companies have started working with clinical service providers and started using EMR's from two prespectives
  • Data and Study Setup

  • Secondary Users Service

Data and Study Setup

Data and Study setup can be incorporated in a EMR to exploit the following features

  • Implement screening parameters into core EMR to identify prospective patients for pharma trials at point of care
  • Setup data capture from trials as part of clinical care and clinical documentation workflow
  • Populate data in care report forms automatically from EMR
  • Embed care record forms as tabs in core EMR so data is collected and stored against patient record
  • Implement clinical rules and alerts for compliance and range checks for data and structured documentation checks
Secondary Users Service

It can be used for the following
  • Easier data extraction from EMR for proper reporting on adverse events
  • Unified reporting of current and historical data
  • Findings can be published as standard clinical documentation
  • Monitor outcomes based on ICP’s and evidence based decision support
Example Implementations

Pfizer – Drug Safety -Supporting Physician Reporting of Adverse Reactions and Public Health Threats

NOVARTIS – Clinical Trial: Lab and Image Data - Innovating Clinical Data Capture for Labs and Images using EMR lab ordering and results reporting using HL7

Eli Lilly – Patient Visit Workflow – Streamlining the patient workflow using standard Inpatient and Outpatient workflows

genzyme – Disease Registry – Profiling diseases geographically and using other statistical profiling such as gender , age etc

SAIC – Biosurveillance -Standardizing and Facilitating Data Collection for Enhanced Biosurveillance

The Problem of Abstraction in Definitions of Data Objects

I think there is a major problem in not being able to understand and work with different levels of abstraction.  By "abstraction" in this sense I mean one concept system that somehow describes or defines (not merely relates to) another concept system.  I think this is a big problem for definitions in data models. Let us take an example in a retail business such as mortgage banking: Customer Name.  Customer Name exists in the business.  They use it all the time.  Maybe it is sometimes called Borrower Name, but the concept is the same.  This is the Level 1 abstraction. Now let us think of data values in a column in a table that holds Customer Name.  These data values are stored as a code of 1's and 0's.  Of course these bits are rendered into something we can read.  However, this is not the same as the Customer Name in the business.  I worked for a place where they prefixed the name of anyone who had recently left with "ZZZ"....

The Humpty-Dumpty Principle in Definitions

In dealing with empty concepts, we came across the issue that if somebody uses a term that potentially has an unintelligible definition, they are likely to defend themselves by quickly making up some kind of definition.   I strongly suspect that in such cases, the usage of the term will be inconsistent with the definition.  Which brings us to Humpty-Dumpty. Lewis Carroll (Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) is best known for his children's' books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass .  It is in the latter that Humpty Dumpty - an argumentative egg perched on a wall has the following exchange with Alice: 'And only one for birthday presents, you know. There's glory for you!' `I don't know what you mean by "glory",' Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don't -- till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!"' `But "glory" doesn't mean "...
