Participant compensation is a critical factor in clinical trials, directly influencing trust, retention, and overall study success. Explore approaches that adapt to diverse needs, enhance experiences, and reduce operational strain, ensuring trials run efficiently while maintaining credibility and participant satisfaction.

Clinical research is no easy feat — balancing science, regulations, operations, and people is a high-stakes challenge. At the center of it all is the protocol, our guiding document. But more often than not, translating that protocol into real-world action feels like decoding a Rosetta Stone. After reviewing more than 1,250 protocols, ProofPilot's Senior Clinical Program Manager, Kathryn Gentz, has identified six common mistakes that lead to confusion, deviations, and unnecessary costs. Here’s what to watch out for.

Behind every successful clinical trial is a site coordinator juggling chaos: patient care, payment issues, shifting schedules, and siloed systems — all while trying to maintain trust. Read Emma’s story and see how Mural Health is reimagining site support by reducing admin overload, improving communication, and making participant management actually easier. Because when sites feel supported, trials succeed.

Manual transcription between EHR and EDC systems creates unnecessary delays, errors, and costs in clinical trials—with as much as 70% of the data being duplicated. Integrating these systems presents a powerful opportunity to streamline workflows, improve data accuracy, and accelerate trial timelines. Download a white paper showcasing how EHR-EDC integration can reduce site burden and help bring new treatments to patients faster.

Managing patient payments shouldn't be a full-time job — but for many clinical research sites, it still is. Outdated systems and manual processes lead to delays, errors, and frustrated participants, which can hurt retention and trial success. Explore how automated, flexible payment solutions can ease the burden on site staff while supporting participants’ needs. Based on insights from real site teams, we break down what matters most — and where systems often fall short.

Digital tools are transforming clinical research by improving efficiency, accuracy, and the participant experience, but success depends on thoughtful implementation. Integrating systems like eConsent and scheduling tools can further streamline operations, though challenges like patient tech literacy and internet outages still exist. Read how sites can effectively adopt and benefit from evolving clinical research technologies.
