Reducing site burden and increasing trial efficiency:
Evolving to Electronic Learning and Management for Measurable Impact


Clinical trial complexity has increased significantly over the last 10 years. The number of mandated procedures required to be executed by the site has increased on average by 50% and the number of data points that must be collected per trial has increased by 60%.

This complexity has increased the operational burden for sites participating in trials and the associated risk of protocol non-compliance, deviations and violations. However, the shift to on-line training and automated processes that would support sites in reducing administrative burden and improve efficiency has been slower than expected. The outbreak of COVID-19 has also accelerated the need to look at how digital solutions can reduce the risk of disruption when on-site training is not possible.

Join ICON to hear the site perspective, explore the potential barriers in adoption of an on-line learning solution and find out how to overcome the challenges in deployment. You will also learn how a site portal solution has been deployed to effectively manage training and has supported the continuity of site operations during the evolving environment of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • A day in the life of an investigative site – understanding the burden at site level
  • Training and managing site communications – the sponsor perspective
  • Moving to a digital learning management solution – overcoming the challenges and reaping the benefits
  • Case studies demonstrating the value of integrated site learning management.
