Tips To Determine Access Level

 

Observational Studies:

  • If REB has approved the use of de-identified or aggregate patient information - choose "Connect Care Research Reporting Tools"

  • If REB has approved access to patient-level data (with or without patient consent) - choose "Connect Care-CIS Chart View-Only"

  • If REB has approved access to patient-level data (must have patient consent) AND the study requires you to order research-related diagnostic tests (i.e. lab, images) - choose "Connect Care-CIS Write-Access"

  • IMPORTANT: 

    • After a site has implemented CC-CIS, paper requisitions will no longer be accepted at AHS facilities for research-related orders for tests or images.

 

Interventional Studies:

  • If the interventional study will not involve medications, diagnostic tests, scheduling patients or following recruited patients in an AHS facility - choose either "Connect Care-CIS not needed" OR "Connect Care-CIS Chart View-Only"

  • If the interventional study involves medications, diagnostic tests, scheduling patients or following recruited patients in an AHS facility - choose "Connect Care-CIS Write-Access"

  • IMPORTANT: 

    • After a site has implemented CC-CIS, paper requisitions may no longer be accepted at AHS facilities for research-related orders for meds, tests or images for interventional studies.  

    • If your study involves a medication or product, the drug/product is required to have a record (or "ERX record") within the Epic application to enable you to order it from the system.  Refer to the ERX decision tree to help you decide if the medications involved in your study require an ERX record to be built.
