Description Respondent
CRC CRIO
Is the EHR at your site FHIR-enabled, i.e., is the EHR capable of sending data to and receiving data from other institutions for routine clinical care/treatment purposes?
 Yes (in use now) 8(42)
 No, but in development now 4(21)
Does your institution use FHIR to exchange patient data with other organizations for routine clinical care/treatment purposes?
 Yes (in use now) 4(21)
 No, but in development now 6(32)
 Which method do you use to provide access to source data? We print paper copies of the EHR data 6(27)
 We provide a guest / temporary log-in to the EHR with read-only access 17(77)
 We provide “over the shoulder access” to the EHR 6(27)
 We provide access to a shadow chart 4(18)
 We do not provide any access to source data in the EHR/chart 0(0)
Where would software that requests data from the EHR FHIR server need to be installed to comply with your institution’s policies?
 Our policies require that such software be installed behind our institution’s firewall 8(42)
 Our policies allow such software to be hosted by the Sponsor for the study 1(5)
 Our policies allow such software to be hosted by a third-party for the study (i.e., a data coordinating center; not the Sponsor or the site) 1(5)
 All of the above would comply with our institution’s policies 9(47)
