Meeting The Rising Challenge Of Software Training For Clinical Trial Sites

By Andrew Gerrard, Product Trainer, U.S.

The need for technology has been trending upwards for years, even before being vastly accelerated by COVID-19. As we move further into the digital age, technology and software have become not only the norm in our everyday lives but also the foundation upon which entire businesses and industries are built. The days of pen to paper, tedious manual processes and lengthy turnaround times are falling further into the rearview mirror, as intuitive applications and automation platforms take the stage.

For clinical trial sites, the emergence of software suites have enabled research coordinators to greatly reduce, or entirely eliminate barriers that were once commonplace. Financial, logistical, and administrative challenges have all become increasingly simplified for site staff with fit-for-purpose systems, including Greenphire’s ClinCard (participant reimbursements), ConneX (participant travel) and eClinicalGPS (site payments). With technologies such as these in place, participant retention is on the rise, while administrative headaches are declining.
