2 Scenarios and requirements for Patient Identification and Recruitment

2.1 Introduction A! well! conducted! requirements! gathering! and! analysis! process! is! an! important! first! step! in! the!development! of! a! usable! and! efficient! application.! This! process! consolidates! all! needs,! constraints!and!requirements!in!a!structured!way!within!scenario!and!software!requirements!specification!(SRS)!

documents.!!

Four!clinical!research!scenarios!have!been!defined!within!the!scope!of!this!project!and!prioritized!by!the!Executive!Committee:!

1.! Clinical!protocol!feasibility!2.! Patient!identification!and!recruitment!

3.! Clinical!trial!execution!4.! Adverse!event!reporting!!

During!Year!2!we!have!completed!the!scenario!and!requirements!definition!for!Patient!Identification!and!Recruitment!and!this!forms!the!focus!of!Deliverable!1.2!

!

2.2 Objectives • Define!operational!scenarios!for!the!domain!of!Patient!Identification!and!Recruitment!!• Define!system!(platform)!requirements!based!on!operational!scenarios,!stakeholder!inputs,!and!

inputs!from!staff!at!the!pilot!sites!!

• Develop!use!cases!and!workflows!to!elaborate!the!requirements!and!steer!the!development!of!tools!and!services!

!

2.3 Problems being addressed Patient!recruitment!is!one!of!the!biggest!challenges!for!Pharma!because!as!many!as!50%!of!today’s!clinical!trials!fail!to!achieve!the!target!recruitment!rate.!Interventions!may!include:!

• extensions!to!recruitment!periods!that!impact!later!development!activities!• the!identification!of!additional!sites!to!cover!for!those!that!don’t!perform!as!expected!

• amendment!of!the!protocol’s!inclusion/exclusion!criteria!that!will!initiate!a!time!consuming!round!of!reKapprovals!and!system!updates!

• in!the!worst!case,!abandonment!of!the!trial!

!

Studies!show!that!today’s!manual!process!for!identifying!patient!candidates!misses!27%!of!suitable!candidates!compared!with!electronic!searching.!In!addition,!other!treating!physicians!may!only!be!contacted!if!recruitment!rate!is!not!being!achieved!and!there!is!often!no!easy!mechanism!to!allow!

treating!physicians!to!proactively!refer!patients!as!candidates!for!a!clinical!trial.!

EHR4CR!!


2.4 Approach and activities undertaken The!requirements!engineering!process!adopted!within!EHR4CR!provides!a!methodology!for!the!

thorough!examination!of!the!envisaged!operational!environment!and!specification!of!application!functionalities!and!behaviours.!!!

The!following!activities!have!been!undertaken:!!

• Interviews!with!experts!from!pharma!and!academia!to!develop!a!comprehensive!understanding!of!the!current!process!for!patient!identification!and!recruitment,!user!issues!and!needs!

• Brainstorming!and!Requirements!Elicitation!Workshop!in!Düsseldorf!(23.04.2012K24.04.2012)!with!project!members!representing!user!groups!

• Compilation!of!Requirements!Scenarios!for!the!Patient!Identification!and!Recruitment!

domain!• Conceptual!modelling!of!the!patient!identification!and!recruitment!scenarios!(UML!use!case!

diagrams!and!descriptions)!

• Compilation!of!the!Software!Requirements!Specification!(SRS)!and!their!review!and!improvement!within!WP1!

• Requirements!validation!workshop!with!domain!experts!in!Paris!(09.10.2012!–!10.10.2012)!

• Stage!Gate!Process:!Requirements!Freeze!!

2.5 Results and outputs The!main!outputs!of!Tasks!1.2!and!1.3!comprise:!

1. Scenarios!for!the!EHR4CR!Platform!and!Business!Model!(Annex!1)!containing!relevant!domain!and!usage!scenario!descriptions.!

2. !Patient!Recruitment!Software!Requirements!Specification!v!1.0!(Annex!2)!containing!the!following!information:!

o Tools,!methods!and!approach!

o A!description!and!responsibilities!of!the!key!actors/roles!o Use!cases!that!specify!the!envisaged!interaction!of!actors!with!components!of!the!

envisaged!system!

o Functional!requirements!o NonKfunctional!requirements!(process!and!quality!factors)!o Data!Requirements!

!

2.6 Relationship to the rest of the project The!requirements!scenarios!and!specifications!provide!input!for:!

• Technical!work!package!members,!who!will!translate!the!use!cases!and!requirements!into!a!

software!system.!!

EHR4CR!!


• Pilot!work!package!members,!who!will!use!the!SRS!for!the!use!and!evaluation!of!the!

developed!software.!!!

2.7 Next steps Planned!next!steps:!

• Improvement!of!the!requirements!engineering!process!and!requirements!specification!

3 Pilot evaluation criteria

Criteria!for!evaluating!the!pilots!are!now!being!developed.!

Two!major!components!are!in!the!scope.!!

• The!criteria!and!test!procedures!required!to!validate!that!the!system!works!as!it!is!intended!

to!work.!This!is!required!for!system!validation!against!the!requirements.!• The!criteria!and!test!procedures!required!to!demonstrate!that!the!value!propositions!are!

met.!This!requires!to!define!the!baseline!measurement!and!what!data!needs!to!be!generated!

for!comparative!analysis!and!value!demonstration.!

A!common!pilot!evaluation!methodology!and!framework!is!being!developed!as!part!of!Task!1.5.!!

!

A!set!of!success!criteria!are!being!developed!to!support!both!a!quantitative!and!qualitative!evaluation.!

The!success!criteria!may!differ!depending!upon!the!targeted!audience,!as!the!perspectives!of!what!is!important!varies!amongst!the!different!stakeholders!(EFPIA!members,!Data!Providers,!Service!

Providers).!

!

Some!of!the!items!developed!to!date!have!already!been!investigated!by!WP1,!WP4,!WP7!during!year!1,!and!need!not!be!repeated.!They!are!accessible!in!the!document!entitled!“Evaluation!of!the!EHR4CR!Pilots”,!included!in!Annex!3!

!

At!first!the!list!of!key!success!criteria,!will!be!developed!derived!from!the!requirements!and!the!

specifications!–!asking!the!question:!what!needs!to!be!demonstrated!to!show!evidence!of!a!success.!

!

The!list!will!be!circulated!for!input!and!enrichments.!A!consolidation!will!then!be!required!to!summarize!the!criteria!that!are!more!closely!reflecting!on!expected!tangible!value!to!be!

• Are!acute!admissions!presenting!with!the!correct!inclusion/exclusion!criteria!(for!acute!

disease!indications).!

Normally!identification!of!patient!candidates!occurs!only!within!the!Research!Physician’s!

immediate!care!pool!and!only!once!the!trial!is!initiated.!For!chronic!diseases!where!the!patients!

have!preèxisting!records!and!are!attending!regular!outpatient!clinics,!it!may!be!possible!for!the!
