Icon claims its collaboration with electronic Health record (EHR) specialist Cerner will help drug and device makers streamline data collection.

The collaboration – financial terms of which were not disclosed – will see the Dublin, Ireland-based contract research organisation (CRO) use Cerner’s Discovere web platform to manage and research data from late stage studies.

Discovere Late Phase is a highly scalable and flexible platform that is able to support late phase study management and provides sponsors with the ability to capture research data across multiple research sites​,” said Elizabeth Thiele, president of Icon’s Late Phase & Outcomes Research division.

She added that: “Cerner's Web-based research solution was built to accommodate the diversity of late phase studies, an improvement over other technologies that may have been retro-fitted from cumbersome legacy systems​.”

Icon is the second CRO to announce a partnership with Cerner – the other being Quintiles which teamed up with the software firm in 2009​ to create “an integrated solution​” ​for areas including patient registries, post-approval and late phase trials and observational studies.
