As clinical research industry advancements increasingly include the incorporation of new technologies, it is critical that the global site community commit to continued education so they are a part of the digital evolution.
The SCRS Digital Innovation Initiative (DII) empowers clinical research sites by addressing the demand for education and training on decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) and other emerging clinical technologies.
This critical initiative has been designed to advise, educate and connect clinical research industry stakeholders on current and upcoming technology advancements and their impact on site sustainability.
Goals
• Informing sites and industry about the evolving site landscape
• Enhancing learning opportunities for sites surrounding current and future technologies
Best Practices & Recommendations for Sites
Decentralized Trials
Before sites start hybrid decentralized trials, they should first understand their capabilities and any gaps. Understand concerns, best-suited options, and the ideal course for the successful adoption of decentralized trials at the site level.
Connected Devices
This document provides guidance for understanding and operationalizing connected devices in clinical trials. Learn how to enhance the site and patient experience with connected devices by promoting a simpler and more integrated systems approach.
Non-Technical Guide to Cybersecurity on a Budget
While clinical technology brings many benefits, it also brings risks such as potential cybersecurity threats. This document outlines key concerns and best practices for sites to consider how they’ll be affected by a cybersecurity breach, how to respond, lingering effects, prevention strategies, and associated costs.
