Migrating clinical studies from one database to another (such as Oracle Clinical to Oracle Clinical or Oracle Clinical to Oracle InForm or Medidata Rave), is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of clinical data management, technology, and the regulations that govern clinical trials. Join me and my colleague, Richard Gavan, for an informational webinar […]

When it comes to clinical trials, the consequences of bad data can be severe. Research and development becomes complicated and lives can be put at risk. The need for clean clinical data is critical for comprehensive reporting and analysis, ultimately enabling safer drugs and devices to be brought to market faster. Join us this Thursday […]

Then we’ve got a special webinar, just for you. On July 21, we will be having a fireside chat with our client, Alliance Foundation Trials (AFT), a research organization that develops and conducts cancer clinical trials. The chat will include a few presentation slides, so that you’re not looking at a blank screen, but much […]

We’ve talked a lot in this blog about the use of electronic health records (EHRs) in clinical trials. Recently, my colleague wrote about it on our healthcare blog, so, I thought I would share her post with my pharma and CRO friends. While our previous posts focused on the use of EHR for subject recruitment […]

  According to an article in Clinical Leader that featured Bayer Healthcare’s VP Global Strategy & Development Advisor, by evaluating certain criteria against patient populations, electronic health record (EHR) systems can help sponsors determine trial feasibility and shape better study protocols. This can reduce the number of amendments, which can cost anywhere from $300,000 to […]

  Last year, I wrote about Proteus, the company behind the FDA-cleared ingestible sensor that helps monitor patients’ adherence to medication. At that time, the company was running clinical trials in the US, whereas in 2012, the company’s platform was already deployed in the UK. 

  In an article from Clinical Leader, Chief Editor, Ed Miseta, and Bayer Healthcare’s VP Global Strategy & Development Advisor, Johann Proeve, discuss using electronic health record (EHR) and electronic data capture (EDC) systems to lower the overall costs of running clinical trials. 

  Over the last decade, the life sciences industry has gone from running clinical trials on paper or, in many cases, in Excel, to leveraging comprehensive web-based systems, such as electronic data capture (EDC) and clinical trial management systems (CTMS). But, in more recent years, the widespread use of mobile technology has enabled even more […]

  One question we often get relates to disabling Oracle Clinical (OC) and Remote Data Capture (RDC) accounts. What happens to the OC/RDC accounts of users who separate from a company or roll off of a clinical trial? The answer is relatively simple, though not necessarily obvious, because the only way to tell if an […]

Now that February is here, I thought it would be neat to look back at what our readers found most interesting last month. Below are the top five blog posts Perficient’s life sciences practice wrote in January – they’re ranked in order of popularity, with number one being the most viewed piece. 6 Trends In Life Sciences […]

  Let’s face it, relying on clinical trial participants to self-report their medication intake isn’t ideal. Lots of things can go wrong. Patients can administer medication improperly, avoid taking the medication altogether, or even claim they’ve taken the medication when, in actuality, they haven’t. While there are other means of checking whether patients are taking […]

There’s been a lot of hoopla around the NFL and their new partnership with Microsoft surrounding the Surface tablet, now deemed the official tablet of the NFL and, of course, Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson’s favorite toy. The deal, in part, outfits NFL teams with tablets to improve communication on the field, photo viewing, and […]
