CCADD has done research on studying the strategic policy issues to efficiently and seamlessly integrate standalone clinical research systems in Korea such as drug- or disease-registries (public or private), government's open data, and hospital's electronic medical records (EMRs). This research was sponsored by the Korea National Enterprise for Clinical Trials (KoNECT). In this research, CCADD has first enumerated the available clinical trial resources in Korea followed by a systematic investigation of the current legal, societal, and cultural works that have prevented clinical trial systems being fully integrated. CCADD has also studied the following topics:

- Current status of integration of EMRs in Korea

- Technologies available for integration of public health data and EMRs

- Availability of a metadata model for integrated clinical research systems in other countries

- Roles and responsibilities of the centralized coordinating center for integrated clinical research systems

CCADD performed an exhaustive and systematic search for various articles and papers that described the current status and critical obstacles in integrating EMR data to be used as a source of clinical trials, including data quality and healthcare stakeholder engagement. The result of this study was written as a white paper titled "임상시험자원 통합정보시스템 구축을 위한 기획연구: 병원간의 전자의무기록 표준화 통합을 위한 구조적 접근 ". In this paper, we suggest a number of potential solutions to address current challenges.
