OpenSpecimen Reporting: Smarter, Faster, Easier
Reporting is a challenge in many clinical research systems — slow, limited, and often requires people with IT/SQL expertise for even simple tasks. Complex queries are often impossible without custom code, delaying access to critical insights.
The core purpose of biobanking is to find the right specimens when they’re needed. Researchers and/or lab users need to find specimens that match their study based on diverse parameters — diagnosis, collection date, anatomic site, ischemia time and more.
OpenSpecimen’s Reporting module is built on over 15 years of experience working with biobanks worldwide. It has been fine-tuned to handle everything from routine queries to the most complex reporting needs, empowering users to get the data they need – with no IT or SQL skills.
Example Biobank Admin Queries:
- Invoicing report: Count of specimens collected this month by study and specimen type
- Invoicing report: count of specimens distributed this month by project
- Inventory management: Specimens by freezer and box location
Example Researcher Queries:
- Find breast specimens for female patients aged 40-60 years by matched tumour and non-tumour for the same patient
- Find specimens based on specific biomarker results, such as HER2-positive breast cancer or KRAS mutation status, to support targeted research studies
Key Features:
Versatile Query Builder – Create raw data or count-based reports using an intuitive UI with logical operators (AND, OR, NOT) and nested queries.
Collaboration & Security – Save, share, and schedule queries with role-based access control and PHI masking.
Advanced Filtering – Apply temporal, calculated, hierarchical, and parameterized filters for complex, targeted searches.
Integrated Data Querying – Query across protocols, datasets, EDC forms, and integrations like REDCap for unified data access.
Flexible Output & Actions – View or export results, and perform actions like specimen transfer, distribution, or shipping directly from results.
Build Dashboard & Catalog – Embed query results with visuals into dashboards or catalogs to share data with researchers or project teams.
