Do you have the right site technology to start studies faster, reduce FDA audit risk and lower protocol deviations? Increasingly, clinical research is transitioning from paper-based processes to the adoption of electronic workflows. In fact, since the FDA’s 2003 draft guidance on electronic technology in clinical investigations, the industry has witnessed a surge in the … Read more
In Vol. 1 of this series, we looked at the consolidation wave reshaping the clinical research landscape — how independent sites are coming together into integrated networks, and what that means for operations, sponsorship, and growth. If you haven’t read it, start there. But consolidation is only half of the story. Once you’ve built (or … 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
How Site Consolidation Continues to Reshape Clinical Trials The clinical research site market is undergoing a structural shift. Over the past decade, and accelerating post-2020, independent research sites have increasingly been acquired or rolled up into multi-site networks backed by private equity and strategic investors. These networks are expanding regionally and nationally, creating larger, more … 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
Why integration alone fails in enterprise clinical trials, and what AMCs, hospitals, and health systems need instead Academic Medical Centers and large health systems have invested heavily in research technology, especially over the past decade. Most operate with electronic data capture systems, regulatory document repositories, Clinical Trial Management Systems (CMTS), financial platforms, and internal collaboration tools. From … Read more
Why academic and health system research organizations are rethinking “free” platforms Most Academic Medical Centers, health systems, and hospitals don’t lack technology. They lack a unified operating layer governing research execution. Over time, research operations are stitched together from tools that are familiar, accessible, and often free: Systems like REDCap for data capture SharePoint for document management Email for coordination Spreadsheets for … Read more
Why Site Network Leaders Need a New Layer of Operational Intelligence to Scale, Compete, and Win Site networks have become the dominant operational model in clinical research. Sponsors and CROs increasingly rely on networks to deliver consistent performance across multiple geographies, investigators, and patient populations. This shift has elevated the role of site network leadership. The … Read more
AI Can Read the Trial Registry. Institutions Still Have to Run the Trials. For decades, clinical research teams have relied on the same public source of truth to understand the global trial landscape: ClinicalTrials.gov. It’s where sponsors register studies, where regulators ensure transparency, and where research institutions look to understand what trials exist, who is running them, and how … Read more
