Reducing Site Burden Throughout Study Startup
A key challenge to successful, timely study startup is the required coordination across multiple research stakeholders and the technology they rely on.
Being “site-centric” is being conscious of and committed to addressing the challenges preventing clinical trial sites from delivering the best possible experience for trial participants, and the best possible results for contract research organizations (CROs) and sponsors.
James Wurdeman, SVP Product Strategy and Innovation, hosts a panel of industry peers and experts from organizations including Syneos Health, Fortrea, Velocity, and PwC to learn strategies to:
- Address timely challenges in study startup impacting sites, sponsors, and CROs
- Review feedback from real sites on how to improve key workflows
- Discuss use cases from industry peers on how they’ve reduced site burden and improved their site relationships
- Learn strategies to improve budget negotiation, document management, site training, and more to implement at your organization
