The Importance of Site Acceptance, Adoption and Use of a Portal
The value of a portal is directly correlated to site adoption and use
Lack of, or partial, site adoption and use leads to:
Running the trial using multiple communication methods: portal, hard copy, email, etc.
Portal reporting loses value because it does not include all data
Portal status and completion dashboard will be incomplete because it does not include all sites
Time is not saved, and processes may even take longer
Money is not saved, and processes may even cost more
Sponsor Clinical Trial Portal
Why Sites Hate Portals: The Challenges CHALLEGE REASON Its An Additional System
Sponsors with their own proprietary portals do not eliminate a system from the site’s world, they add one
Perpetuates the issue of having a different system for every trial
Have to remember another set of credentials
Its Technology
Site personnel are hired for their clinical skills and medical/research experience, not computer skills — the level of tech savvy varies widely
Requires taking time out of their day to receive training
Have to remember yet another technology interface, not common across trials or sponsors
Its Not a Priority
Site personnel are in their profession to help people and provide patient care, not to spend time at a computer
Don’t See Direct Value
Portals are seen as providing value to the sponsor, not to the site (no time or money savings realized by the site)
Why Sites Love Portals: The Benefits BENEFIT REASON Eliminates Paper
No more copying, mailing and filing
Reduces or eliminates paper storage in the office
Easy Access to Information
Immediate, online access to most recent versions of documents
Site dashboard provides a quick view of what SSU documents are outstanding, requests and questions, calendar
On-demand training is available 24/7/365
Reduces Administrative Time
Intuitive, easy-to-use interface streamlines the process and communication with sponsors, allowing site personnel to focus on patient care
Vendor maintenance and support eliminates the burden from the site
Reduces Complexity
A neutral portal used across sponsors and trials eliminates multiple systems, interfaces, training and credentials
The Site Perspective — Too Many Systems
The majority of sites work with more than one sponsor on five or more clinical trials*
This requires sites to access numerous systems and manage a burdensome number of credentials
