Documentation of clinical trials in the medical record

Documentation of clinical trials in the medical record now required
Although it has always been a best practice, a new Fairview policy requires that all clinical research subjects at Fairview facilities have an entry in their medical record (e.g., FCIS or Allscripts) that includes the Institutional Review Board (IRB) number; principal investigator’s phone & pager number; study coordinator’s phone and pager number (if applicable); and date of patient enrollment in the study and expected length of participation.
