TIP OF THE MONTH -- Appreciation

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's crucial to pause and express gratitude to those who matter most. Let them know that their presence and efforts are deeply appreciated, and that their positive influence has not gone unnoticed. Whether it's a kind word, a helping hand, or simply being there, their actions make a significant difference.

Rave CTMS Unifies the "Big Picture" User Experience

Rave CTMS responds to customer challenges by unifying the user experience “Big Picture” overview. Rave CTMS combines the Dashboard, Issue Management, Site Monitoring, Study Management and Task Management as one application with multiple capabilities.

What is Changing Now?

Users will be able to navigate to Rave CTMS via the applications list on the iMedidata homepage. Once in the Rave CTMS application, capabilities from the previously separate CTMS applications will be accessible to the user in the side navigation. View the Rave CTMS FAQ for more information (and images) explaining how the old applications will evolve into the Rave CTMS capabilities.

Why is this Exciting?

Currently, Rave CTMS is divided into five separate applications making it difficult for CRAs and Study Managers to view all the information they expect to see and complete all the tasks they expect to perform within CTMS. For example, if a client had two P2 studies in different Study Groups, they would be unable to apply the configuration settings from one to another, creating repetitive and duplicative work. With One Rave CTMS, users will be able to access all study-level settings from the old applications in one place under the new application.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

How Process Optimization Can Support Your Financial Obligations

In today’s current climate, hiring qualified candidates is a challenge. This dynamic is pushing our Partners to do more with less, while at the same time trying to keep costs down. The added layer of M&A activity in Life Sciences companies is driving market consolidation and creating a significant impact on CROs.

As we continue the move to integrating new technologies, AI, and automation solutions, there is a need to drive interoperability between systems. But systems and technology are only as good as the processes around them.

Medidata’s Strategy & Transformation team's clients are realizing the value in being enabled to work better, faster, and more streamlined by partnering and collaborating with Medidata to identify areas of improvement. Once we’ve identified the client’s processes, we optimize them to gain more value from their technology and build efficiencies that have upstream and downstream effects across the organization. For example, by streamlining our client's study build process enables their studies to be run a) more efficiently and b) start faster. Both drive tangible (reduced cost and manpower) and intangible (workforce satisfaction) ROI.

For more information on how Medidata’s Strategy & Transformation team can support your process optimization needs, please contact Teresa Fishburne, VP Strategy & Transformation at: Teresa.fishburne@3ds.com

TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

Rave EDC Study Builder Certification -- Now Available Globally

The Rave EDC Certified Study Builder certification program is now available globally, across US, EMEA, and all APAC regions. The journey to launch this new program began with rolling pilots, throughout late 2022 and 2023 where Medidata gathered valuable insights from participating customers in all regions to ensure an impactful certification learning experience.

The Rave EDC Study Builder certification program includes a learning path for new study builders, as well as a streamlined path for study builders who have already obtained the Classic Rave EDC Study Builder certification. The program culminates in a multiple-choice exam, followed by an applied skills assessment where candidates apply their knowledge by building a mock study to demonstrate real-world experience. This combination of practical and applied skills ensures candidates are well-prepared to be effective study builders.
