A scientific study of nature that sometimes includes processes involved in health and disease. For example, clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies may be related to new ways to screen, prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. They may also study certain outcomes and certain groups of people by looking at data collected in the past or future.
This resource is a definition resource from a FHIR workflow perspective - see Workflow.
A process where a researcher or organization plans and then executes a series of steps intended to increase the field of healthcare-related knowledge. This includes studies of safety, efficacy, comparative effectiveness and other information about medications, devices, therapies and other interventional and investigative techniques. A ResearchStudy involves the gathering of information about human or animal subjects or stability data about drug products or drug substances.
For clinical trials -- A research study is a scientific way to improve or develop new methods of health care. Studies are designed to answer specific questions on how to prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases and disorders. The ResearchStudy resource describes essential information about the study, including the purpose, objective, sponsor, investigator, therapy, condition being studied, schedule of activities, and other key items.
Uses for the ResearchStudy resource include:
ResearchStudy is aimed at all forms of studies. For some study types specific extensions have been defined
Extension: SiteRecruitment
Some studies need to find sites according to specific criteria - for example site has a freezer capable of very low temperatures and a centrifuge.
Extension: StudyRegistration
Used to separate study registration activities from study progress status.
