Patient Finder

Patient Finder is a patient recruitment and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) solution developed by Graticule, designed to integrate directly into health system workflows. Backed by Graticule's global provider partner network and clinical data science utilities, Patient Finder speeds up recruitment processes and reduces the risk of under-enrollment at each clinical trial site.

Patients with rare diseases or progressive conditions often present with complex and varied symptoms, face extended periods of misdiagnosis, and are frequently overlooked for potentially life-saving therapies. Medical researchers struggle to identify eligible candidates at the right point in their patient journey, leading to trial delays caused by slower-than-forecast recruitment. Patient Finder addresses these challenges head-on by combining large-scale real-world data access, clinical expertise, and point-of-care deployment capabilities.

Key Challenges Patient Finder Addresses

• Lack of dataset access: Limited access to diverse, large-volume real-world data and clinical expertise makes it difficult to train and develop data extraction tools, patient identification logic, and predictive models.
• Implementation barriers: Deploying patient identification screening views using up-to-date data within clinical workflows at pilot health systems is complex and resource-intensive.
• Inability to scale: Reaching the last mile across many sites requires active coordination with health systems and clinicians, which is difficult to achieve at scale.

How Patient Finder Optimizes Patient Screening

• Access to large volumes of EHR data at health systems and aggregators to support the development and testing of patient identification screener features and logic.
• Key Opinion Leader (KOL) expertise applied to integrate subject matter knowledge into efficient and effective screener systems.
• Unique partnerships with a global network of health systems and Health Information Technology (HIT) platforms to deploy screener systems directly at the point of care.

Benefits of Patient Finder

• Improved access to care: Stratification of patients assists in identifying individuals who may benefit from marketed or experimental medicines tailored to meet their unmet medical needs.
• Accelerated patient recruitment: Screening tools that integrate algorithms and predictive models present qualified patients and recommended diagnostic screening actions, speeding identification of the patients most likely to enroll.
• Reduced manual labor: Lower site manual chart review costs and reduce low-yield diagnostic processes by establishing an intelligent screener that processes and presents relevant information from electronic medical record datasets.

Patient Finder is purpose-built for life sciences organizations and health systems seeking to overcome the persistent challenges of clinical trial recruitment, leveraging a global partner network and advanced clinical data science to deliver scalable, workflow-integrated patient identification at the point of care.
