Episode notes
Persistent Staffing and Funding Challenges
- Staffing and funding remain critical yet persistent challenges for clinical trial sites.
- The industry's slow pace of change is culturally rooted despite clear needs for agility and innovation.
Need for Interoperability Across Systems
- Standardizing on a single software at all clinical sites is unlikely due to diverse operations.
- Interoperability and connectivity among different systems is critical for future efficiency.
Challenge Vendors on Integration
- Challenge your vendors on their plans for interoperability and connectivity.
- Favor solutions that integrate well rather than enforcing proprietary platforms.
