The process of clinical research requires 10-20 different software products, many of which must share data with each other. A customer selecting “best-of-breed” products from different vendors has a lot of integration programs to develop, validate and maintain; a customer selecting an integrated suite from a single vendor can end up with a lot of second-rate products in the mix. There is no easy answer.
OmniComm offers a choice. Standard integrations between the products are available off the shelf. For example, TrialMaster® comes integrated with the OmniComm AutoEncoder for medical coding, with IRTMaster for randomization, and with Acuity for data analytics. Alternatively, integrations with third-party products may be easily built using an open set of tools. These include:
Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that use CDISC ODM calls
File import from ODM, XML or delimited ASCII files
Data export in any format, including CDISC SDTM
The ability to attach external files to any clinical data record
A configurable interface to a clinical payments system
Configurable interfaces to a variety of Clinical Trial Management Systems
For TrialOne®, direct data capture from a variety of instruments, such as barcode scanners
Customers can build these integrations themselves, engage a third party, or contract with OmniComm’s Professional Services division. It is common for these to be developed in parallel with study build activities, thereby causing no delay to study timelines.
