SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- drchrono Inc., the company enabling the medical practice of the future, today announced that it has partnered with HDP Health to provide physicians and medical facilities with access to thousands of the latest clinical trials for their patients.
HDP Health software is now integrated with drchrono’s EHR platform and lets the doctor know which of their patients are eligible for clinical trials. HDP Health supports medical organizations and helps physicians identify which of their patients fit clinical trial criteria and are candidates for clinical trials. The HDP Health system can also identify new clinical trials that are opening up and will notify the medical practices staff about which trials to consider running based on existing patient populations.
“HDP Health’s clinical trial software gives providers and patients on our EHR platform access to the latest clinical trials available,” said Daniel Kivatinos, Co-Founder and COO of drchrono. “Practices usually hire teams to scout out and find what patients might fit what clinical trials, shifting through the complex criteria to join a clinical trial, this takes enormous amounts of time. With the HDP Health app, a provider will get insights to see if a patient meets criteria for a clinical trial.” Daniel goes on to say, “For example, with aggressive forms of cancer, informing a medical practice of all options can only help the doctor and patient make a better decision. Part of our mission is to bring the very best technology to patients and doctors and HDP Health is just that.”
“80% of clinical trials get delayed because they can’t get them to market fast enough and can’t get enough patients to participate. The integration with drchrono’s EHR will help doctors quickly and easily find the best clinical trial options for their patients,” said Brian Clark, President of HDP Health. “The only way new medical treatments come to market are through clinical trials. This new level of collaboration will give patients and physicians on the drchrono EHR platform access to over 100,000 clinical trials in specialties such as diabetes, ADHD, dermatology, heart disease, cancer and many more.”
How Does It Work?
HDP Health and drchrono integration identifies clinically relevant changes to a doctor's patient medical record. Upon them occurring, the HDP Health software will generate a clinical trial eligibility report. This report is inserted into drchrono’s EHR for the doctor and staff to use to determine the best trial to recruit a patient to. The patient’s data is safely encrypted to keep all information secure.
