Despite years of efforts to simplify and automate site budgeting and payments, several factors have continued to slow progress and drive a fragmented approach to managing trial budgets and interacting with investigators. IDC believes that operational streamlining of financial processes, including investigator payments, will be key to retaining key PIs and making the clinical trial process more sustainable. This IDC Technology Spotlight Report dives into five (5) critical objectives of patient participation and safety. From a data perspective, increased process transparency enables trial managers to:

• more quickly and effectively determine when trial milestones are met;
• identify which sites, if any, need greater attention;
• address drug safety issues in a timely fashion;
• and/or more quickly respond to regulatory issues or reporting as needed.
