eSource: Reducing Site Workload for Better, Faster, Safer Clinical Trials
Clinical Ink
Unlike traditional electronic data capture (EDC),
SureSource, Clinical Ink’s eSource platform, was designed from the
beginning to minimize clinical trial complexity for site users. A Site Impact Survey provides
scientific evidence regarding the impact of SureSource from 517 site
users. Results confirm it significantly reduces workload, lessens
queries, and improves data quality compared to paper and EDC. In this
white paper, we quantitatively evaluate survey outcomes, provide
qualitative feedback from survey respondents, and highlight the observed
benefits of SureSource for transforming clinical research.
