eCRF-Plugins: Drug Accountability, eFeasability and more
Created on: 05/02/2024
Our pool of over 20 eCRF Plugins offer flexibility and functionality, adding the final touch to the perfect EDC solution for your individual study project. In this article, we spotlight five of these plugins which elevate efficiency and precision in Drug Accountability, e Feasability and more.
Clear data collection with Drug Accountability & Sample Tracking
For clinical trials to be successful, it is essential that patients receive their medication on time and that samples are sent to the respective laboratory in a timely manner. To make it easier for doctors to plan these steps and allocate resources, Alcedis supports this process with the Drug Accountability & Sample Tracking Plugins. This allows doctors to see, for example, where a laboratory kit is located and when ordered medicines will arrive.
If medication is missing, the doctor orders it directly via Plugins and its arrival is documented there. In this way, it is possible to trace which medicines patients received even years later. This documentation facilitates the overall overview of the materials of a study, for example whether there were increased complaints with a certain batch.
Monitoring tool for a schedule overview
With the Monitoring Plugin from Alcedis, physicians in clinical trials keep track of upcoming visits of the monitor to the centre. In addition, a standardised visitor report is provided to the monitor at the centre visit, which simplifies and speeds up documentation.
The results are thus entered directly at the appointment in the monitoring centre and transmitted electronically to the attending physician. Furthermore, additional functions offer the documentation of protocol violations or open tasks.
eFeasibility for data collection from centres
The selection of centres and the associated recruitment planning requires considerable planning effort even before the documentation begins. With the eFeasibility Plugin, processes from the search for a centre to the conclusion of a contract are optimally supported. Scenario analyses show how many practices need to be contacted for a promising recruitment.
In addition to the early planning of the clinical trial, the tool also supports the implementation phase by documenting the recruitment progress of the centres. In the further course of the clinical trial, these values are automatically checked and deviations from the recruitment target are detected.
Alcedis Academy as a training tool for clinical trials
As a prerequisite for the smooth running of a clinical trial, all participants should be well informed, trained and prepared. To ensure this, training courses can be set up in the Alcedis Academy Plugins before the start of recruitment or refresher training courses can be set up during the course of the study.
As proof of training, optional tests can also be created for examination. Within Alcedis Academy, individual trainings can be documented and certificates and participant lists can be created as proof.
Remuneration for the handling of payment processes
The Remuneration Plugin greatly simplifies administrative tasks related to the remuneration of the centres. It guarantees transparent and secure payment processing of fees to treating practices. The payment of fees is based on the data situation and data quality, which is determined and documented with the help of the Plugin.
