Optimizing Research Documentation: Oncology Consultants & Flatiron

Oncology Consultants relied on paper-based research logs for clinical trials, which caused delayed investigator sign-offs and data-entry inconsistencies as staff rotated between locations. They switched to electronic adverse-event documentation within Flatiron's OncoEMR system. Median time to investigator sign-off dropped to 5 hours, down from 24-48 hours on paper, while monitor queries decreased and data quality improved; their Research Quality Assurance Manager is quoted saying the change "allows me to easily track adverse events that are unsigned by investigators, improving data quality."

Flatiron Health is a Roche-owned company supplying EHR-derived oncology real-world data, captured at the source through its own OncoEMR software.
