Epposi members are invited to take part in the EHR4CR project survey before 31 August 2011. EHR4CR is designed to demonstrate how data held within Electronic Health Records (EHRs) can be re-used for clinical research purposes in Europe. It is led by EU academic and industrial partners and is funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), a public-private partnership between the European Union and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA). Epposi is a member.

A newly designed EU EHR4CR platform, which will be in full compliance with local legal, regulatory and ethical requirements, will also be supported by a business model to ensure that the re-use of patient data from EHR systems consistently delivers high quality data and cost-effective solutions in the long term.
