SCRCM

Session Overview:

This session will provide an overview of the Cures Act and how it applies to research as well as what carve outs or exceptions exist related to blinded studies and potential harm to patients. We will review the consent section of the Penn template as it relates to Cures Act and discuss automatic sharing with patients in research vs what may not be shared. Finally we will get into the practical aspects of both sharing and how certain elements may be operationalized to be withheld in current state and future state in PennChart. Resources and tip sheets will be provided as will as brief demo of actual functionality.
