About MHRA

The Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), a centre of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), provides real-world data research services, supporting public health and clinical studies.

The Challenge

CPRD’s process for paying investigators for their role in recruiting candidates to studies was completed manually – taking hours of time each week. A lack of integration between IT systems also meant a duplication of effort and a risk of errors. CPRD could see the potential of automating at least 90% of this work. Now it needed a software partner with proven experience of government and healthcare – and familiarity with GDS guidelines.

Our Solution

One Beyond created a solution for automated study reporting and payment calculations. Our team integrated CPRD's Interventional Research Services with the CRM system and developed intuitive dashboards. These display snapshots and insights about studies, tailored for different stakeholders. Also, a payments module makes it easy to generate payment reports for the finance team. We created an API bridge between applications to automate data exchange.
