Hiding in plain sight – CRIO eSource is the biggest opportunity for sponsors. While the clinical research industry has automated many processes, there is one area that is still mostly paper-bound. This is the source of one of the greatest inefficiencies in research today. Automating this one process could drive 20% cost savings in a...
The FDA routinely audits clinical research sites, and some of those sites happened to use CRIO eSource on the studies in question. With our broad reach and history as the leading site-adopted eSource solution, we have now established a database of audit results that prove what we’ve known intuitively: CRIO eSource reduces audit risks for...

Challenge Historically, Benchmark used paper charts...
Increased efficiencies Despite the myriad of additional issues caused by COVID, our study team’s efficiency dramatically increased with remote monitoring. I have long been a proponent of the potential of eSource and its advantages in clinical trials. From my experience as a CRA (Clinical Research Associate) I first wrote about eSource in November 2018, SOCRA...
Mary Brenner, MSN MArch RN, is CRIO’s Study Design Manager and brings deep-rooted expertise as a registered nurse to CRIO’s in-house study design team. In this quick Q&A, Mary shares the benefits of good study design for sponsors and sites, the downstream effects of standardized study designs, and gives tips for designing it on your...
73% of sites reported using paper as the primary means of data collection In a 2018 CRIO site survey with over 100 respondents, sites reported that they use their Electronic Medical Record (EMR) primarily for patient recruitment purposes, but not for source data collection. 62% of site respondents reported that they use the EMR as...
For every clinical trial, the sponsor and/or a CRO will conduct a site selection process to determine what research sites are suitable to conduct their trial. A site’s ‘suitability’ is measured by a multitude of factors including but not limited to previous experience conducting clinical trials, research experience for a specific indication, resources available at...
COVID-19 trials have quickly become the top trafficked listings. According to WCG Insights, COVID trial listings represent 15.1% of total visits in the last 6 months and has led to a decrease in interest in trials for other conditions. Given the fluid nature of the pandemic and the increasing need for COVID treatments and vaccines,...
Dr. James Clark of Charlottesville Medical Research recently had an FDA inspection of his site as it is a high enroller. He did not receive a FDA Form 483, and he was using the CRIO electronic source system on the study. Learn about his experience in this Q&A session. CRIO: What’s your background? Dr. Clark:...
Most discussion about electronic source (eSource) documentation in the clinical research enterprise starts from a sponsor standpoint, with eSource being viewed as an extension-almost a mobile version of electronic data capture (EDC). In this view, sponsors provide sites with eSource systems that the sites use to collect data, which are then transmitted to the EDC...
