CLINICAL TRIAL SUPPLY MANAGEMENT WITH SIEBEL CTMS

by Eugene Sefanov

Clinical supply and inventory management is a crucial part of the clinical trials process. Tracking investigational product and ancillary supply shipments to a site – including quantities, lot numbers, and dates – can help sponsors and clinical research organizations (CROs) save money and prevent headaches.

Wouldn’t it be nice if all the tracking could be done within a clinical trial management system (CTMS)? Well, we have good news: with Oracle’s Siebel CTMS, it can.

Clinical supplies can be tracked in Siebel Clinical right out-of-the-box. However, simple extensions, such as adding fields to an existing screen, and more complex enhancements, like adding new screens or an entire clinical supply management module, can make the tracking process more efficient, useful, and compliant.

Join BioPharm Systems’ Param Singh, vice president of clinical trial management solutions, for this complimentary 60-minute webinar in which he will:

• Discuss the struggles associated with clinical supply management and offer potential solutions
• Outline ways to use Siebel Clinical to track clinical supply inventory levels with and without system modifications
• Demonstrate how companies are currently tracking clinical supply and inventory with Siebel Clinical

by Eugene Sefanov

Have you ever found yourself stuck on a task in Siebel Clinical, Oracle’s Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS)? Or, have your organization’s users ever complained about forgetting how to perform a task?

FREE WEBINAR: BUSINESS AND OPERATIONAL RISKS IN CLINICAL AND SAFETY: APPLYING APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY AND APPROACHES TO MITIGATE RISK

by Eugene Sefanov

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company’s business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

Free Webinar: Increase ROI through an Effective CTMS Training Program

by Eugene Sefanov

User adoption is the key to achieving a rapid ROI for your CTMS and the key to user adoption is an effective training program. Such training programs are based on a careful analysis of an organization’s culture and the characteristics of its end-users.

But, depending on the organization, the details of a program should be tailored to meet the needs of the end-users and the organization as a whole. Effective CTMS training programs leave users feeling well-equipped to begin using the system and fully supported as they master it.
