OpenClinica’s eSource solution, Unite, automates source data acquisition from patient medical record systems (EHRs and EMRs) to clinical trial research databases (EDCs) and case report forms (eCRFs) at scale. This secure bridge between healthcare and research eliminates manual data transcription and is especially suited for rigorous GCP and Part 11-compliant clinical trials. Unite is backed by a rapidly growing network of over 450 physical clinical trial sites across major health systems serving tens of millions of patients.
Unite Partners: eSource at Scale
9 Key Advantages of Unite eSource: EHR EDC Integration
-
Speed
Sponsors gain early and consistent access to reliable data enabling quicker decision-making and reduced time-to-market.
-
Quality
From the outset, incorporating source data instills confidence among stakeholders in the information they receive. Furthermore, Unite surpasses both national and global compliance benchmarks, ensuring the utmost data quality.
-
Safety
Accessing high-quality study data in real-time facilitates an earlier understanding of potential safety signals.
-
Diversity
Clinical research sites can readily engage in studies, assisting sponsors in adhering to FDA draft guidance on trial diversity. This approach ensures the consistent efficacy of therapies across a wider range of populations.
-
Retention
eSource frees up site staff to focus on patients, fostering greater engagement and sustained participation throughout the duration of the study.
-
Site Satisfaction
EHR integration alleviates the load on research sites, potentially boosting their eagerness to partake in studies and effectively recruit patients.

Cost Containment
Clinical trials incur significant costs due to the collection and abstraction of clinical data, exacerbated by human errors. Sponsors who utilize Unite experience a remarkable 61% reduction in time compared to sites employing manual data abstraction. This is merely the initial advantage.
-
Scalability
The advanced development of technical standards, such as SMART on FHIR, results in sites becoming operational within hours, rather than days or weeks.
-
Strategic Growth
Unite eSource enables genuine data interoperability, enhancing study outcomes through the incorporation of novel data sources like medical devices, wearables and smartphones. This broadens opportunities for therapy development, allowing data to be shared with a wider array of research destinations.
