Why manual transcription from eSource to EDC is now the industry’s biggest and most fixable bottleneck. Clinical trials are entering a new era of technology innovation and adoption. We’ve seen AI-assisted site selection, decentralized models, real-time analytics, and fully digital workflows. Yet one of the most time-consuming, error-prone, and universally hated tasks in research has barely changed at all. Since the day eSource entered … Read more
Watch the Replay: The RealTime Keynote – The Next Chapter of eSource Every coordinator knows the drill: collect the data once, type it again, fix the errors, and reconcile the queries. It’s a burden that has never truly been solved – eSource to EDC. And for decades, clinical research has accepted the contradiction of collecting … Read more
The Challenge: Legacy Systems Everywhere Why the most advanced AMCs, hospitals, and health systems ow are leaving legacy systems behind. Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) and health systems are at the forefront of scientific discovery. They run hundreds of trials across departments, manage dozens of sponsor relationships, and balance regulatory, financial, and ethical oversight, often while advancing research that directly … Read more
RealTime Reports: Closing the Gap Between eSource Data Capture and Data Flow. Modern sites are under relentless pressure: more trials, tighter timelines, higher expectations for data integrity, and audit readiness. Traditional paper-based or hybrid workflows simply can’t keep up. Electronic source data capture (eSource) is now rapidly becoming the gold standard for high-performing sites. In the latest … Read more
The clinical research industry is entering a new era of performance transparency where data, not legacy relationships, drives site selection. That was the central theme of the recent SCRS hosted webinar, “Outdated Metrics, Missed Opportunities: Rethinking Site Selection in 2025.” Industry leaders came together to discuss how artificial intelligence, data analytics, and site-sponsor collaboration are … Read more
Why Clinical Research Sites Should Focus on Adoption, Not More Technology. By Rick Greenfield, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer, RealTime eClinical Solutions If you’re a site owner or overseeing site operations in clinical research today, you know that software is everywhere. There’s a tool for every need: patient engagement, regulatory, source data, payments, scheduling, … Read more
Clinical research sites are speaking up. The average site now juggles 22 different technology systems per study, each with its own logins, training, and data pipelines. That kind of overload leads to staff burnout, compliance risk, and redundant workflows that drain time and quality. But what if the solution isn’t more technology? What if it’s trusting sites to use the … Read more
Site selection in clinical trials is stunted, often driven by past relationships and familiarity. In fact, studies show that in any given multi-site trial, about 70% of participating sites were previously used by the sponsor1. While there are advantages to reusing known sites, like faster contracting, established workflows, and existing relationships, past collaboration doesn’t always … Read more
In clinical research, budgets are always under pressure. So, when a sponsor, CRO, or vendor offers a “free” system, whether it’s a Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) or an eRegulatory (eReg) platform (also called an electronic Investigator Site File, or eISF), it can sound like a welcome relief. But as many Academic Medical Centers (AMCs), … Read more
