Billing compliance is an important factor when conducting clinical trials. Researchers and others involved in the process often struggle to achieve accuracy and clarity in billing. Even though the adoption of clinical trial management software has eased the overall process of conducting a clinical trial, it is important to understand the regulations and policies surrounding…
Looking to optimize your organization’s DCTs to improve research access for underrepresented communities? Here’s what our clinical electronic data capture software expert wants you to do: Addressing challenges and assumptions in deploying DCT strategies By paying attention to participant feedback, research teams can continue to adapt to and learn decentralized modalities as required to accommodate…
A clinical trial can only be as strong as the population it’s actively serving and reaching. In addition, the participant population must match the population of those who require treatment. However, a lot of research teams still struggle to retain participants and improve access in clinical trials. While there may be a lot of factors…
While transitioning source documents from paper to eSource, implementing standard templates across the organization for everyone to realize can be helpful, especially when using an intelligent electronic data capture system. When searching for inconsistencies across studies, using two buckets is recommended: therapeutic lines and research categories. Research categories consist of components like ICFs (informed consent…
From an all-inclusive, exhaustive report to a high-level, executive summary with in-depth observations, the amount of detail required in an audit may vary. While a report may only include a range of observations, it may also provide a list of every document reviewed, describing every process reviewed in detail, as well as any audit observations.…
If you have been invited to enroll in a clinical trial, there are many questions that may come to your mind. As you may know, clinical trials are a great way to explore the efficacy of new medical procedures, pharmaceuticals, and devices. They help improve healthcare, which is ultimately beneficial to the patient population. In…
As a number of research organizations are adapting to remote requirements and technological advancements, and becoming more patient-centered, they’re redesigning the way they perform research. Accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic, countless trials have shifted to a DCT (decentralized clinical trial) model. This approach is usually more convenient for the participant, and it doesn’t let in-person…
For the last couple of years, the clinical research industry has seen its staff shift to a work-from-home, remote model. Here, our clinical data management and EDC expert goes through some eClinical regulatory trends that are impacting clinical research: Considerations when embracing an eClinical suite There’s one important advantage of going from paper to paperless…
Conducting a successful clinical trial takes a combination of supporting technology, participants, and staff. However, given the lower time to market expected of a lot of current studies and, of course, the increasing complexity, sponsors and sites should find ways to conduct collaborative and efficient trials while strictly adhering to regulatory requirements. To address this…
