Most research sites are already tracking KPIs. Almost none are tracking them in a way that’s consistent, reliable, or usable in real time. That was the premise behind our recent webinar, KPIs Every Research Site Should Be Tracking (And How to Automate Them), hosted by John Harvey, Director of Enterprise Sales, and Meganne Forrestall, Product … Read more
Most site leaders feel confident in their operational visibility. The data tells a more complicated story. That tension sits at the center of the RealTime Reports: Trial Start-Up, Visibility and Performance Benchmarks Survey, a study of clinical research professionals across independent sites, multi-site networks, and large site organizations. Respondents aren’t early-stage operations. They’re managing significant complexity: 43% are running more … Read more
By implementing RealTime-Devana Enterprise, Exigent established a centralized system for managing trial opportunities from intake through site selection and activation, enabling more efficient site coordination, improved visibility, and structured engagement across participating sites.
This edition presents findings from a survey of clinical research professionals across independent sites, multi-site networks, and large site organizations (11+ locations). Respondents shared how they manage trial start-up, operational oversight, and performance visibility today, and where the most significant operational gaps remain. The findings establish practical benchmarks for site networks and multi-site operations, with expert insights and actionable guidance to help research leaders close the gap between where operations are today and where they need to be.
The operating model for clinical research is shifting. Protocols are becoming more complex — more endpoints, more procedures, more oversight. In tandem, clinical research site networks and multi-site organizations are scaling rapidly, expanding across more studies, more sites, and more complex portfolios. But execution hasn’t kept pace. While trial complexity has accelerated, operational visibility has not. For sponsors and CROs, … Read more
To address challenges as their operations scaled, Javara expanded its use of Devana by implementing Devana Analytics to transform operational data into executive-level intelligence. By leveraging data already captured within Devana, leadership can now access real-time dashboards that provide a clear, consolidated view of portfolio performance.
Watch the Replay: The eClinical Command Center: Rethinking the Research Operating Model for AMCs and Hospitals Most Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) and hospital-based research organizations don’t lack technology. They’re operating in environments where that technology was never designed to work together. Over time, research operations have been built around tools that are familiar, accessible, and often free. Individually, these tools work. But … Read more
Clinical research sites rarely struggle with opportunity. What they struggle with is capacity. Clinical research coordinators (CRCs) are buried in regulatory binders, monitors occupy office space for days at a time, and the sheer volume of manual transcription creates a hard ceiling on growth. A site may have the investigators, the patient population, and even … Read more
As clinical research site networks grow, one issue consistently rises to the top: the financial reporting inside their Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) isn’t built for scale. Many organizations begin with a basic CTMS, but as sites expand across locations, sponsors, and complex protocols, financial complexity increases, and system limitations become glaringly visible. This is why more multi-site … Read more
In multi-site clinical research, data rarely lives in one place. What organizations call a “system of record” is often a patchwork of tools that capture only fragments of operational truth. Leaders may believe they have a system of record because they use a CTMS, shared drives, dashboards, or project boards. In reality, most organizations operate with multiple partial systems … Read more
