How does remote monitoring work with Epic inbox?

This new functionality adds the benefit of allowing for easy remote monitoring; a monitor is sent a link by e-mail that sends him/her directly to an Epic InBox, where view-only, real-time chart information of patients assigned by the study coordinator through the restricted access template may be accessed.

Can Research monitors access Phi stored in an EMR?

When protected health information (PHI) is stored in an EMR, there is inherent risk that general access to these systems for source verification purposes could allow research monitors to also have access to the PHI of non-study participants.

What is profile EMR?

Your Profile EMR has a Headline Manager to manage targeted mass communication visible on log-in. This powerful tool allows you to send communications to All Users/Providers, Targeted Users/Providers (by Role), or Patients using Accession and Aero Patient.

What is the Aero Patient App?

The Aero Patient App includes a Messaging Center for communication with the Clinic and its Providers via either Profile EMR, or the Aero Provider App.

What is a patient portal?

A Patient Portal accessible by web and Smartphone App. Most commonly used to support on-line appointment booking, these tools also support direct patient access to their Medical Record. This includes their Care Plans, Problem Lists, Results and clinic notes. Patients can request Medication Refills, ask a question and even write notes into their medical chart.

What is EMR in healthcare?

As hospital systems and healthcare institutions adopt electronic medical records (EMRs), this creates a new challenge in the normal conduct of clinical research. When protected health information (PHI) is stored in an EMR, there is inherent risk that general access to these systems for source verification purposes could allow research monitors to also have access to the PHI of non-study participants.

How many monitors were used in the 2017 restricted access template?

As of August 2017, 18 months post-implementation, 490 monitors had utilized the restricted access template. On a monthly basis, up to 100 patient charts have been accessed appropriately, with compliance continuing to come up with zero instances of inappropriate access during post-monitoring visit audits.

What is restricted access in Epic?

The implementation of the restricted-access template in Epic has succeeded in restricting research monitors to consented study patient charts while also allowing them the complete, real-time access required for ensuring human subjects protection and data validation. This has been accomplished in a manner that satisfies security needs at our institution.

What is Epic system?

Access to the EMR system for general users is a rigorous process involving investigation and documentation of private information (e.g., Social Security numbers ) in order to acquire the requisite unique login and password.

Is MUSC University Identity Account secure?

One limitation identified during this process was the necessity of issuing an MUSC university identity account to research monitors required for them to access Epic. Although these accounts are restricted and secure, almost 500 users had to be added and maintained as account holders in the institutional identity management system. In addition, in order to ensure security, these accounts were prohibited from being utilized remotely, therefore preventing remote monitoring, although such an option was becoming widely requested by corporate sponsors.

When was the restricted access monitor process initiated?

The restricted-access monitor process was initiated in January 2015 in parallel with the release of the first signed institutional policy outlining the process. The first six months the process was in place was considered a pilot phase under strict oversight by the MUSC compliance office.

Can monitors access shadow charts?

Another approach is to prohibit monitors from accessing EMRs, and instead compile hard-copy “shadow charts” for each study participant. This method has inherent cost burdens related to production, storage, and destruction, as well as the logistical burden of necessitating that all hard-copy records receive the designation of a certified copy. In addition, many monitors view the shadow chart as an incomplete form of monitoring, as there is no way to verify that the chart is complete and free of intentional or accidental omissions. 2
