LONDON, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Chiltern, a leading global research organization, announced that Debra Jendrasek, Director of EDC Solutions, will chair a session at the SCDM fall conference. The session, Electronic Health Records (EHR), will be held on Monday, September 17 from 10:30 am to noon at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago.
"With the emergence of new technologies at investigator sites, it has become evident that our industry needs to look at how Electronic Health Records can be utilized in clinical research," said Debra. "Incorporating Electronic Health Records within clinical research will help minimize redundant processes for site personnel while standardizing and streamlining the flow of data from the Investigator site to the Sponsor. In the context of HIPAA regulations, one has to make sure that the platforms and processes used to transfer medical records will guarantee the privacy of patients enrolled in studies."
"Chiltern is pleased to see Debra recognized for her leadership in development of clinical technologies," commented James Esinhart, Executive Vice President Biometrics and Late Phase. "With the ongoing initiatives for implementation of Electronic Health Records, Debra and our EDC Solutions unit are uniquely positioned to assist clients with the advancement of technologies in clinical research."
