Implementing Cognizant® Shared Investigator Platform: Lessons From The Field

Cognizant Shared Investigator Platform (SIP) is designed to streamline clinical trial site selection, start-up and operational management. When selected by a clinical trial sponsor, Cognizant SIP can be used to enable investigator sites to have a single point of access to multiple resources across multiple studies and sponsors. This significantly increases site efficiencies and synergies across various sponsor and clinical trials. Hundreds of large academic medical centers have implemented Cognizant SIP globally. Such large, matrixed organizations span across hundreds of physician-investigators (PIs) and dozens of departments.

One leading oncology healthcare system and research institution has recently successfully implemented Cognizant SIP and shares, in this paper, its best practices around planning for and implementing Cognizant SIP given such a large footprint.
