Using Virtual Study Coordinators For EDC Entry And Query Resolution To Speed Up Data Access And Cleaning

Explore the integration of virtual study coordinators to optimize electronic data capture (EDC) processes in clinical research. By utilizing CRIO's technology, research sites can delegate EDC entry, query resolution, and quality control tasks, enabling clinical research coordinators to concentrate on patient recruitment and retention.

Elevate Clinical, a network based in Texas, has formed a dedicated in-house global EDC team to efficiently handle these responsibilities, resulting in faster data entry and query resolution. This enhancement boosts key performance indicators (KPIs) and enhances the appeal of their sites to sponsors. Additionally, third-party vendors like Koncord Clinical Services (KCS) provide virtual study coordinators capable of performing EDC entry and query resolution swiftly, leveraging their global presence for same-day or overnight service. KCS also offers quality control and training, improving data oversight and transparency for site directors. The document concludes that effective use of CRIO can significantly enhance site performance, supporting recruitment and diversity objectives for sponsors.
