Moana Digital Health introduces MOANA Clinical Research for hospitals and research units

Moana Digital Health has introduced MOANA Clinical Research, a standalone system on the Moana platform for hospitals and research units. It identifies patients who are eligible for a study from the clinical record, while protecting their identity until the study is approved and the candidate has been screened.
Capability
A researcher defines inclusion and exclusion criteria and sees a live count of matching patients across facilities. Screening, consent and recruitment are recorded against each candidate.
When a patient in clinic matches an open trial, the treating doctor receives a prompt within the patient record.
Research governance and privacy
Identities remain hidden until the study is approved and the candidate has been screened. Every query and every view of an identity is written to an audit log. A dataset leaves the system only with identifiers removed and with the approval of the principal investigator.
Each deployment is configured to the site’s own studies and research governance.
Built on the clinical record
Clinical Research reads from the record clinicians already use, so there is no separate research database to maintain. The counts a research team sees reflect care as it is documented.
