Electronic Healthcare Data

Expert Meetings

Overview

Using electronic health record (EHR) data and other real-world data (RWD) sources for clinical research holds tremendous promise.  

CTTI first worked in this area began with the Mini-Sentinel pilot project, when it partnered with FDA, the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, and many of the nation’s largest insurers and health systems to assess the feasibility of using the Sentinel System to conduct clinical trials. The results indicated that most participating health plans have considerable and relevant experience to use the resources created by the pilot project to conduct randomized trials. 

As follow on, CTTI collaborated on IMPACT-Afib, the first trial to use the FDA-Catalyst System network of electronic health data from several national health plan data partners. This study is foundational to future clinical trials, showing that a decentralized database of claims data can be used to conduct successful research.
