Streamlining patient recruitment using EHR data
The field of (bio)pharmaceutical research is booming. Increasingly more innovative therapeutics are being developed with the ability to drastically improve the quality of life of millions of patients around the world. Rigorously testing each of these candidate drugs for their safety and efficacy is an essential part of the development process. As the number of clinical trials steadily increases, the search for patients who present a specific medical profile and are willing to participate intensifies.
