Central eSource redefines data capture, shifting it from a passive, back-end task to an active, real-time engine for quality and compliance—delivering value far beyond quicker EDC feeds and reduced SDV. Unlike the EDC, which merely functions as a secondary data repository, Central eSource enables real-time, protocol-driven data collection right at the point of care. This contemporaneous documentation embeds workflow guidance and edit checks directly into clinical activities, ensuring sites consistently and accurately collect data in alignment with the protocol across all study locations.
Central eSource also significantly accelerates site readiness and patient enrollment. By eliminating the labor-intensive process of creating manual source worksheets—which can demand over 35 hours of coordinator time—sites leveraging CRIO’s Central eSource enrolled their first patient an average of 41 days faster and achieved 40% higher overall enrollment compared to non-eSource sites. This advantage not only extends the recruitment window but also shortens the site’s learning curve, driving enhanced operational efficiency.
Finally, Central eSource transforms remote monitoring by providing continuous access to source data, enabling monitors to conduct near real-time source data reviews (SDR). This early visibility helps identify protocol deviations, compliance issues, and safety concerns far sooner than traditional monitoring methods. In doing so, Central eSource drives stronger data integrity, accelerates study timelines, and simplifies regulatory compliance—demonstrating that it is far more than just an integration layer for the EDC.
