How Technology Helps Clinical Trial Sites And Their Staff
By Ben Baumann

eConsent is transforming clinical research sites by addressing key pain points and streamlining processes for overburdened staff. During a webinar hosted by OpenClinica, experts discussed challenges such as overworked site staff, inefficient patient recruitment, and labor-intensive data collection. They emphasized the role of eConsent in simplifying multi-site studies through centralized and standardized processes, reducing the manual workload and ensuring compliance. eConsent, combined with other technologies like EHR-to-EDC integration and digital health tools, lightens the workload by automating data collection, improving participant engagement, and enabling real-time data cleaning. Solutions like OpenClinica Participate™ further enhance efficiency by enabling patients to submit data directly, ensuring faster access for clinical teams, increasing safety, and reducing query resolution times.
While technology like eConsent significantly reduces site staff burdens, experts stress the importance of simplifying tools and providing adequate training to maximize their impact. By adopting these innovations, clinical research sites can improve efficiency, accuracy, and participant experiences.
