Summary of service
Summary of service
Health Informatics supports the proven & effective methods utilised at primary care sites in order to identify potentially eligible participants for research opportunities. The aim of the PRIDES service is to standardise the Health Informatics development and sharing processes currently undertaken by LCRN staff, GP practices and study teams in order to support studies delivered in primary care settings. The benefits of the standardisation of this work include ensuring each and every study engaging with PRIDES identifies the individuals for invitation to research opportunities in a consistent manner via the design of tools capable of interrogating the rich coded data in our Electronic Health Records against the set inclusion and exclusion criteria for each study in turn.
