5 Ways To Engage Clinical Trial Sites With Technology

2021-05-19T17:49:13-04:00

As Featured in Clinical Leader, July 13 2017 Clinical research has a reputation for being notoriously slow to adopt new technologies. This should come as no surprise to those in the industry, since we operate in a highly regulated environment. We’re generally skeptical about technology for three main reasons: Potential data security and compliance [...]

eClinical tools to dClinical tools

2021-05-19T17:42:54-04:00

Gartner’s Michael Shanler was one of the first to recognize the trend of dClinical. He noticed that a new generation of software vendors was emerging who handled project management and reporting in a new way. Florence agrees with Michael’s observation, which is why we’re building tools that align with a dClinical approach. An abbreviated [...]

What’s Your eRegulatory Strategy?

2021-05-19T17:03:28-04:00

What’s your eRegulatory Strategy? In the last year we’ve met with dozens of research teams to discuss this question. In the process, we've discovered that moving to an eRegulatory platform is much more than moving from paper to digital documents. Formulating a site-wide strategy for eRegulatory means considering 1) the benefits you seek, 2) [...]

My clinical trial monitors say they don’t want an electronic binder. What do I do?

2021-05-19T16:23:21-04:00

The transition to electronic clinical trial binders (eBinders or investigator site files) is underway across the clinical research industry.  eBinders provide several advantages for your site. Well-understood benefits include: Improved compliance. Digital binders allow you to easily track and fix compliance issues so that your site is always audit-ready - no paper sticky notes [...]

Defining eSource for Clinical Trials: Three Practical Categories

2021-05-19T15:56:49-04:00

When discussing eSource there is as much detail to explore as any other segment of clinical trial operations. But from small biotechs to top 20 pharma, the starting point for discussions is more simple: how do we define eSource? After numerous deployments of eBinders and eBinders eSource, we've come to understand that eSource is three things. First, let's [...]

Paper Shadow Charts: The Hidden Barrier to eSource

2021-05-19T12:52:19-04:00

The benefits of eSource - where trial data remains electronic from start through data lock - are well understood. They include the elimination of transcription errors (shown by Nham et al to be 10x more accurate), reduction in duplicitous effort and monitoring requirements, and easier query resolution. With clinical EHR adoption nearing 90%, digital [...]

The End of EHR Data Connection Fees

2021-05-19T12:46:55-04:00

The basis of healthcare data has not changed. Patient histories still set the stage. The exam still details how the patient looks, feels, and sounds. Vital signs are still gathered in similar ways. What has changed is what happens to this data logistically and economically after the patient visit. First, a bloom of EHRs drove digital [...]

Integration Gets Pushed Off Again

2020-08-25T16:04:52-04:00

HL7, CDA, FHIR, CDISC, CDASH. The word jumble surfaces when researchers attempt to integrate clinical data with trial data. It also illustrates a trend where technologists, not clinicians, have control of patents' information. We propose there’s another way — an approach that puts the clinician in control of data movement. First let’s look at [...]

Clinical Trial Data Sharing: Has the IOM Taken on Too Big a Challenge?

2020-08-25T16:04:00-04:00

In January of 2015, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) made an historic call to increase the sharing of data gathered in clinical trials. The aim to increase knowledge and subsequently increase the rate of therapy development is clear. How does this work? Collectively, sharing trial data would reduce cost and data leakage by eliminating duplicate efforts for [...]
