Top 5 Considerations For Training Site Staff On Clinical Trial Technology

By Andrew Gerrard, Product Trainer

As a trainer of Greenphire technology, the conversations I regularly have with site staff are often focused on the applications they will be using during their particular study: ClinCard, ConneX, eClinicalGPS, or EnvisiX. Rare is the opportunity when I’m offered a chance to gather in a room with a diverse group of staff members from various sites, sponsors, and other technology vendors, all with the shared purpose of engaging in a collaborative discussion around trainings themselves, and how we might improve upon existing practices. I was thrilled to learn that this was exactly the opportunity I was to be provided when I was invited to attend the 2022 SCRS Global Summit and speak on a panel, Advancing Technology with Attention to Site & Participant Burden. During my time on the panel, and throughout the SCRS event in its entirety, I had the chance to hear directly from sites regarding the ongoing burden of frequent technology trainings, as well as their thoughts on what creates the ideal training experience. Below are five of my top takeaways from those discussions.
