Electronic vs paper

Clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs) that use paper make studies susceptible to human error and missing data. Leveraging eCOA technology with ClinROs improves data quality. Unlike paper and form-based eCOA, electronic clinician ratings proactively detects scoring and administrative errors prior to submission.

Signant Health’s electronic clinician ratings reduce scoring and administrative errors by up to 80% compared to paper and form-based eCOA.

FAQs

What is an endpoint in clinical research?

Clinical endpoints are measurable outcomes used to address the objectives of a clinical trial, such as survival, decreased pain, or the absence of disease.

What is a primary endpoint in clinical trial?

Primary endpoints measure outcomes that will answer the most important question being asked by a trial, such as whether a new treatment is better at preventing disease-related death than the standard therapy. Secondary endpoints answer other relevant questions about the same study, such as patient-reported outcomes on their quality of life.

How do you ensure data quality in clinical research?

Innovative technology, routine training, and guidance from experienced subject matter experts help researchers ensure high data quality. Signant offers all of those solutions and services, catering to the unique needs of sponsors and regulators.
