Research conducted using Fairview resources

OnCore
OnCore, in conjunction with EPIC, is used as a communication tool between UMN researchers and Fairview, UMP, and IDS staff for pricing provider services and billing compliance purposes. Any study that is using Fairview, IDS, or UMP services must register their study with OnCore.

A study team will be expected to track the subjects, visits, and procedures for the study in a centrally-built calendar, as well as link research visits in EPIC. The Service providers then use this information to appropriately bill charges to either insurance or research.

The OnCore Study Entry service can save you time by entering studies or protocols into OnCore, ensuring required fields have been completed. 

In addition to being a billing compliance tool, OnCore can aid in the budget development process by providing researchers with pricing information for all Fairview Services, including:

  • All Fairview and UMP hospital or clinic services
  • Contracts for Professional Services with Fairview or UMP
  • Fairview Diagnostic Laboratories: Fairview's full-service laboratory
  • Investigational Drug Service: The central pharmacy for all investigational drugs dispensed within Fairview or the Academic Health Center (AHC)

OnCore also can be used to obtain pricing estimates in order to analyze the feasibility of future studies.
