Jaco Kasselman explains how Medrio’s EDC system helps him build strong relationships with sponsors through real-time data entry and cloud-based collaboration.

I would recommend making use of Medrio if you’re considering moving over to EDC because it’s easy to to configure a database. You do not need to be a programmer to build a form or program a rule because it’s really just setting up your preferences rather than programming a query the study is always ready for review and data is always available for the sponsor to review. Once the researcher is done in that lab the data is entered they don’t need to go back to their desk, transcribe data into a system. At Clindata since we’re mostly involved in animal studies we have a nice library available that we built and maintain so we have the set of data collection forms designed once there’s a new data collection form template created we’ll just create that in the system again for our database setup, if that long. We’re really excited about the eSource tool that made real release that that’s really nice tool to use for a field study set up when there is no data connectivity and the guys go out to the field with their tablet they can enter data and once they’re back online the data will push through to the server. What stands out in made real for us in animal health is the multiple subject data entry tool and that was adapted so much that it was fully functional for the animal health sector. We’re very pleased to have Medrio support. When we have a ticket locked into the system I can I know that I can escalate it or contact our representative and she’ll immediately make sure that it’s escalated and attended to. So even due to the different time zones I know I can call somebody it’s really quick efficient study site the data management is easy we know the reports will include everything.

Simone Knab discovered the power of direct data capture (DDC) after relying for years on paper-based data collection. After implementing Medrio EDC and Medrio DDC as her first experience with clinical trial software, her studies have seen more efficient processes, improved data quality, and reduced monitoring costs. Here, she describes her experience with Medrio’s data collection software.

Leveraging Medrio’s data collection software to succeed in clinical trials

Before eSource we were using paper the data collection was certainly a lot of manually intensive we had three different types of people looking at the data the first person capturing the results and the second and third QCing. In eSource, we eliminated the last two people in the process because eSource now can build in edit checks on the form to guide the user when capturing the data. The “WOW” factor was the actual navigation on the esource tablet whereby the participant number subject numbers are static on the left and then you can navigate quickly to to each participant so you are really looking at a one keystroke navigation to each bed and that is the time-saving feature of a site if you’re using a browser sometimes to navigate to the same form to a different subject it’s it can take up to six or seven keystrokes for us in our processes is actually improving the quality for example entering a four-digit number instead of a three, the user will be alerted immediately at that point of entry. The service is second to none so when you located in Australia, in Perth you are isolated from from the rest of the world you are implementing the system for the first time so we had a challenge because we had the Medrio team come out to train us but we were going live in a week and a half so myself and another work colleague actually started doing training with our trainer at Medrio a little bit before online where we set up some Webexs to to really quickly get up skilled how to do the basic setup all the thing all the issues that we need to look out for so it was our first study and we did learn a lot through it and also through the guidance and support of the customer success manager. Medrio’s culture in in the office and the company they are service orientated they they’re really really keen to to understand the clients. To understand what their needs are and to partner with the client so I knew at any time I could pick up the phone and I knew customer success manager would be able to take the call and actually help us very quickly with the technical support team as well and I have not been actually disappointed once we have expertise in clinical trials we’re not an IT company and I think with the leveraging of an IT reputable company like Medrio is great for Linear because we know it’s it’s first-class we know the solution is is solid we know it complies with all the standards and the security is second to none. We’ve had immense interest in Linear purely by adopting an electronic system really by choosing where we saying where we no longer want to use paper we want to move over and use electronic there are sponsors and some CROs that we’ve never actually done business before they’re actually coming to us now reaching out because we are using eSource.
