What is SHERPA?
SHERPA is Precision AQ’s clinical trial EHR order set solution, built to expedite the most burdensome step of clinical trial start-up. With SHERPA, our board-certified oncology pharmacists and informatics specialists review your protocol, pharmacy guide, and patient diary, translating all requirements into a fully mapped, sponsor-validated EHR build guide tailored to each site’s specific EHR platform.
Sponsor-Validated EHR Build Guide Development
Every SHERPA guide is validated against sponsor expectations before it reaches a site, meaning consistent, approved outputs across all sites and fewer clarification cycles between sponsors and site teams.
EHR Platform Tailoring
We tailor our build guides to the EHR system in use at each site, including Epic Beacon, Oracle Health, and more. Sites receive a format that maps directly to their existing environment so that analysts can begin configuration immediately.
Board-Certified Clinical Expert Review
Our board-certified oncology pharmacists and informatics specialists build each SHERPA, ensuring every guide reflects clinical precision, covers investigational drug details, supportive care, cycle-specific ordering, diagnostics, and all provider and nursing communications.
Operational Risk Reduction
From protocol deviations to bill corrections, the downstream consequences of a flawed EHR build are considerable. Sponsor-validated, standardized build guides reduce the variability that puts compliance, patient safety, and site reputation at risk.
Streamlined Patient Identification
Beyond order set development, we offer EHRconnect, which provides step-by-step instructions tailored to a site’s EHR and available reporting modules to help identify patients who meet a study’s inclusion and exclusion criteria. This native reporting functionality can provide a narrowed, actionable patient pool to support start-up and enrollment and reduce site delays, eliminating the need for third-party software integration.
Protocol Amendment Support
When protocols change, particularly in complex oncology trials, the EHR must keep pace. SHERPA’s build guides are structured to accommodate amendment-driven updates, reducing burden on site teams when dose regimens, study arms, or visit schedules shift mid-trial.
