eTMF And CTMS Integration – What To Expect

Why Integrate Your CTMS and eTMF Systems? 

A typical electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) system and Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) overlap with regard to clinical trial content and data that must be stored in both. This overlap poses a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is ensuring that the correct information is accessible to the right team members in a timely manner. The opportunity lies in the potential to integrate these systems to reduce redundant and duplicated effort, increase consistency and accuracy of content, and improve clinical operations efficiency.  

From a compliance perspective, the most important is data consistency and accuracy – although greater efficiency also helps teams focus more effort on key compliance issues such as quality review. Records should have the same meaning, regardless of system. This data tells a story about the clinical trial, and the story should not vary depending on which system you access!
