Epic Research | OnCore FAQs

The following covers many FAQs pertaining to OnCore and Epic. This information can also be found on Pulse in the Epic Research document Research - Epic FAQs for OnCore and Epic

    • Patients cannot be added to the study in Epic.
    • They must be added in OnCore first under the CRA Console > Register Subject.
    • A subject can be added in OnCore and still not appear in Epic until the subject has a Consent signed date.
    • Once this is added, OnCore will send the subject to Epic automatically

  • Charges are to be reviewed in Epic only, no charges will be sent to OnCore (this is not like uTRAC).

    • No, but the Consent Signed date begins to route charges for review until the Off Study Date is entered in OnCore. These two timepoints act as the start and stop date in Epic.
    • These timepoints will include study and non-study related visits.
    • Patient Billing End Date is another stop date in OnCore that will stop charges in Epic from being routed as part of the study. This will not change the subject status as would the Consent Signe date and Off Study date.
    • Any changes to a subject status must be done in OnCore.
    • Review the Subject console > Follow-Up tab > Off Study Reason > Select Screen Fail.
    • Make sure to add a date under the Off-Study Date.
    • Register a new subject – no push to Epic until Consent Date is entered.
    • Consent > Signed Date entered – must be after the trial is Open to accrual & current Informed Consent is available.
    • Eligibility > Status Date entered – must be after the Consent date.
    • On Study > Date entered – must be after the Consent date.
    • Treatment > On Arm & On Treatment Date – must be after the Consent date.
    • Follow-up > Off Treatment or Follow-up Date - must be after Consent date.
    • Follow-up > Off Study Date – must be the final date subject will no longer have study visit or treatment. This will place a stop in Epic.
    • Follow-up > Patient Billing Complete Date – enter the date the subject completes all Epic Billable procedures. This will create a stop date in Epic, but subject will still be on the study record.
    • Re-Enrollment can only be done in OnCore and if the PC Console > Main > Management > Allow Duplicate Enrollment is selected.
