Conclusion

The themes which have emerged from this survey— automation, cycle time reduction, data acquisition, and equipping people with the right skillsets—are all areas we are actively addressing at eClinical Solutions.

For example, we have experienced first-hand, that through automating repetitive tasks across database builds, technical documentation, and operational reporting, we can achieve efficiency gains of between 50% and 90%. In turn, these approaches positively impact quality, and reduce the burden on team members, freeing them up for more strategic contributions.

Focusing on skills development that equips data professionals for the evolving nature of their roles, promotes quality, minimizes staff turnover, and enables our clients to benefit from efficient data services, while maximizing the value of their technology investment.

Though the survey results reflected a prioritization of immediate pain points of efficiency and expertise above strategic shifts such as risk-informed approaches, and decentralization, we understood from our direct conversations during the ENGAGE meeting, that these topics are moving into the foreground. Accessing the right expertise and technologies to execute decentralized trials and navigating the change management required for risk-informed approaches will be essential.

To succeed in our data-centric, changing drug development world sponsors and service providers alike should balance extracting maximum value from immediately available efficiency gains, with commitment to innovation fit for the future-state. eClinical Solutions’ Clinical Data Services team offers end-to-end biometrics implementation, from data acquisition to insight, accelerated by elluminate.
