Rave Companion - Make Data Entry Easier For Clinical Trial Sites (2024)

Rave Data Management Rave Companion

Rave Companion reduces clinical trial data entry efforts for sites by making it simpler and faster to get source data from any system (e.g., EHR – electronic health record) or document (e.g., lab values in a spreadsheet) into Rave EDC. Rave Companion dramatically reduces the time trial sites spend keying in data and resolving queries so they can spend more time with their patients. And it enables sponsors and CROs to get higher quality data, faster.

Unlike EHR-to-EDC integration approaches that require point-to-point connections and complex mapping between systems, Rave Companion is much simpler and faster to implement, making it very scalable, and it’s not limited to EHR data.

Reduce Data Monitoring Efforts

Rave Companion (via Medidata Health Record Connect) presents patient health record information to the site user, from which they can select to populate fields in the case report form and subsequently review and submit the data to Rave EDC. Because the data is electronically sourced, sponsors/CROs can reduce the need for source data verification (SDV).

“Rave Companion has been really helpful in reducing my time and frustration with data entry. It’s easy to use and always on top when I need it. It was simple to get started, and it helps me focus less on the manual burden of data entry and more on delivering great clinical research.”

– Melanie Curole, Sr. Research Coordinator, Velocity Clinical Research

“We’re excited that Medidata has decided to invest in technology that directly addresses one of the major pain points in sites’ being able to take on and expand their clinical research efforts. We believe Rave Companion will reduce our time spent in data entry, increase job satisfaction, reduce monitoring costs, and ultimately make for better, more efficient research.”

– User, Large Academic Research Center

Populate with EHR Data

Rave Companion presents structured EHR data (using Medidata Health Record Connect) to assist sites in quickly finding and selecting data for case report forms. Rave Companion further accelerates data entry by auto-populating multiple fields with values from the same data range. The site user can then review the completed form before submitting it to Rave EDC.

Always Stay ‘In Sync’

There’s no separate login to use Rave Companion. When a Rave EDC form is opened, Companion automatically pops up a compact replica of the form and stays ‘in sync’ with the EDC form. The Companion form is free-floating, meaning users can have it alongside any source application or document. There’s no need to switch back and forth between windows. Data entered or captured into Companion is automatically reflected in Rave EDC, where the site can review it before it’s saved.
