Interface Between Clinical and Research Information Systems
First Claim
1. An interface system enabling bidirectional exchange of data between a patient care system and a clinical trial or research information system, comprising:
- at least one repository including information associating a clinical trial with patient identifiers, healthcare worker identifiers, an indicator of individual status of a patient in said clinical trial and an identifier of a site involved in said clinical trial; and
an interface processor for providing medical information of a particular patient, acquired using a hospital clinical information system, to a clinical trial or research storage repository by using information derived from said at least one repository for automatically determining,said particular patient is enrolled in a clinical trial andsaid particular patient participation in said clinical trial is still current.

Abstract
A system provides a clinical trial or research process with access to, and use of information employed in patient care by facilitating access to information via a portal (e.g., a Web compatible portal) and providing automated transfer of data collected during patient care workflows for storage in clinical research information systems. An interface system enables bidirectional exchange of data between a hospital clinical information system and a clinical trial or research information system. The interface system employs at least one repository including information associating a clinical trial with patient identifiers, healthcare worker identifiers, an indicator of individual status of a patient in the clinical trial and an identifier of a site involved in the clinical trial. An interface processor provides medical information of a particular patient, acquired using a hospital clinical information system, to a clinical trial or research storage repository by using information derived from the at least one repository for automatically determining, the particular patient is enrolled in a clinical trial and the particular patient participation in the clinical trial is still current.

16. An interface system enabling bidirectional exchange of data between a patient care system and a clinical trial or research information system, comprising:
-
at least one repository including information associating a clinical trial with patient identifiers, healthcare worker identifiers, an indicator of individual status of a patient in said clinical trial and an identifier of a site involved in said clinical trial; a display processor for providing data representing a composite display image identifying medical information of a particular patient, acquired using a hospital clinical information system, together with information indicating type of patient clinical information used by said clinical trial and enabling a user to select data items of said medical information to be provided to a clinical trial or research storage repository, in response to an automatic determination said particular patient is enrolled in a clinical trial, said automatic determination being performed using information in said at least one repository; and an interface processor for providing said selected data items of said medical information to said clinical trial or research storage repository.
