Use of the Epic/Partners eCare Reporting Workbench for research is medical records research.
REMINDER: The Epic/Partners eCare Reporting Workbench tool is for use in clinical care.
For research data queries, Investigators should use the Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR); the Epic/Partners eCare Reporting Workbench tool should not be used.
If RPDR is insufficient for your research, you may use the Epic/Partners eCare Reporting Workbench if:
- you have IRB approval AND
- use is in accordance with specific restrictions as outlined in the FAQs.
Use of medical records and protected health information (PHI) for research must be compliant with the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the Common Rule, and other laws that regulate patient and study subject privacy, in addition to Partners policies on encryption and Information Security.
