Patient-Pivoted Automated Trial Eligibility Pipeline: The First of Three Phases in a Modular Architecture.

Automated extraction of patient trial eligibility for clinical research studies can increase enrollment at a decreased time and money cost. We have developed a modular trial eligibility pipeline including patient-batched processing and an internal webservice backed by a uimaFIT pipeline as part of a multi-phase approach to include note-batched processing, the ability to query trials matching patients or patients matching trials, and an external alignment engine to connect patients to trials.
