Sites can’t achieve high performance on their own; they require a high level of sponsor support. And when sponsors optimally prepare, inform and empower sites, high performance translates into better trials and a stronger drug development program. This support enables rapid study site activation, higher numbers of patients selected for screening, and more accurate pre-screening and patient qualification. It also drives expedited time to first-patient enrollment, fewer data-related issues and protocol deviations, reduced CRA burden, more successful regulatory inspections, and ultimately a faster time to site close-out. MedPoint has identified five key elements to optimize site performance.
1. Access to information
Do you have an information access program?
It’s a major challenge: the complexity of clinical trials keeps growing. This makes information access an essential element of every clinical trial. The idea is simple: fast, intuitive access to all relevant information in one place, with quick search tools, version control and role-based access.
StudyStat! is the leading information access platform for clinical trials. State-of-the-art technology is applied to a comprehensive body of information for each study. StudyStat! extends well beyond eTMF platforms and regulatory documents, adding an array of useful information and simple yet powerful adherence tools.
2. Timely, accurate answers
Tapping the power of AI to work faster.
When study site personnel have questions, they need answers immediately, or productivity and quality are at risk. Waiting 24 hours or longer for a CRA response is far from ideal. AI technology can change the game on getting answers to sites and empowering them to perform.
RASPberry AI™ is a new platform providing rapid answers for study professionals. This breakthrough platform can fuel a higher level of site performance and is built to operate at an optimal level of accuracy and safety.
3. Superior training
Every study deserves a tailored training plan.
Clinical trials are more challenging. Is your training keeping pace? The check-the-box approach doesn’t work anymore. Sites need better training, reinforcement and resources to be fully prepared to execute your study.
Active Learning™ applies a mix of tactics and best practices to deliver effective training. We combine live training, self-learning and decision simulations to engage the intelligence of medical professionals and drive better performance in clinical trials.
4. Technology empowerment
Digital tools that make work easier, not harder.
Advanced digital tools can streamline various workflows but must be designed for simplicity. That’s why our platforms are intuitive and user-friendly, with stepwise task completion and a zero-training standard.
TriPort® simplifies work from site startup and go-live through study close-out. Using a single sign-on, sites can access training, documents, visit guides, screening tools, safety letters, FAQs, and other resources. Personalized dashboards and visualized metrics add to a rewarding user experience and optimized site performance.
5. Positive motivation
Site preference is earned, not given.
The competition for patients and resources at sites is real, and study success can hinge on a positive perception of the sponsor and the trial. To become a preferred partner, sponsors need to communicate, listen and demonstrate support.
Elevated Engagement™ delivers a stream of information and interactive tactics that continuously reinforce site commitment to the study. We develop custom plans that include e-newsletters, surveys, blogs, interim virtual meetings, success stories, enrollment leaderboards, curated online discussions and patient advocacy activities.
