Dear Colleague,

Welcome to our quarterly update of IQVIA news for the hospital sector. 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to underscore the value of real world evidence in advancing science and healthcare. Yet some hospitals remain daunted by the challenges of mining their EHR data. The CTcue platform, part of the Forcea Health Report Clinical module, powers fast, easy interrogation whilst ensuring patient confidentiality with rigorous pseudonymization. If you would like to do more with your databases, you can discover in our articles below why CTcue is such a trusted, time-saving solution. You can also explore data-driven insights in action, help shape product evolution, and improve your hospital’s operational efficiency.

Reliable, compliant data pseudonymization with CTcue
Insights from patient data offer tremendous benefits for clinical and medical research but protecting patient confidentiality is vital. Pseudonymizing data ensures patient privacy in accordance with GDPR regulations. CTcue, part of the Forcea HealthReport Clinical module, achieves this through a robust process of replacing personally identifiable information from Electronic Health Records (EHR) with pseudo IDs.
 
Treating every element differently, from structured data, free text and dates to personal numbers and contact information, it ensures fully searchable, easily retrievable, and confidently usable data, in total compliance with GDPR. But how is it done?
In the spotlight
Faster, accurate EHR mining with CTcue Clinical Data Collector (CDC)
A case study in metastatic renal cell cancer
Real‐world evidence is an invaluable source when continuously evaluating treatment in clinical practice. However, the current standard of manually extracting real world data from EHRs is both time‐consuming and laborious. CTcue Clinical Data Collector (CDC) is a software tool for text mining and the automated collection of both structured and unstructured EHR data.
 
Its use in a recent validation study in cancer treatment outcomes resulted in a sevenfold reduction of time per patient compared with manual review, a saving that enables the significantly more efficient evaluation of treatment and the effectiveness of new drugs.
