What is Research Connect

What is ResearchConnect? 

ResearchConnect is a collaborative initiative to build a robust and sustainable clinical research infrastructure across both the campus and the health system. This will be accomplished through the integration of a new Clinical Research Management System (CRMS) - called OnCore - with key campus-based systems such as WebIRB, PATS and CareConnect.  As a result, the following key goals and benefits will be achieved:

  • Unburden the Study Team.
  • Standardize workflows and increase transparency across the enterprise with regards to clinical research.         
  • Ensure efficient and appropriate financial by tracking patient related charges to increase the accuracy of research billing.
  • Allows study coordinators to track enrollments of patients and studies and generate reports.
  • Alerts clinicians when patients are participating in research studies. This provides important contact information in case of adverse events or potential drug interactions.
  •  Notifies principal investigators and study coordinators via In Basket messages when subjects are admitted to the emergency department or hospital. This notification increases patient safety by facilitating timely monitoring or response of possible adverse effects related to research.
