Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center Debuts Real-Time Data Integration Tool to Boost Research Efficiency

Key Players

Details

Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center introduced a new tool enabling the automated transfer of clinical data from its Electronic Health Record (Epic) system into clinical trial platforms. This capability streamlines how patient care information moves in real-time between patient visits and research databases. Previously, research teams faced the burden of manually re-entering the same information into multiple systems, including EDC systems and specialized sponsor databases, leading to delays, transcription errors, and administrative overhead. The new technology utilizes HL7 FHIR standards—a universal, healthcare-specific data language—to ensure structured data flows securely and automatically from Epic into sponsor EDC systems. Early pilots demonstrated reductions of up to 70 percent in manual transcription time, improving both data quality and workforce efficiency. This integration is viewed as a turning point for clinical trials, enabling the institution to conduct more studies and accelerate the delivery of promising therapies. Furthermore, this advanced operational capability strengthens Mount Sinai's standing with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), demonstrating the maturity needed to manage large multicenter trial networks and ensure accurate, real-time safety reporting.
