  1. The easiest, most efficient approach to site assessment VISTA

  2. The first step in study start-up: assessment of site technology • Who does this currently? • CRAs/IT Support • Study Investigators/Coordinators • How is it done? • Manually, via paper-based questionnaire (faxed, mailed), e-mail, IT tools, or on-site visit • How long does it take? • Many hours of individuals’ time • Up to a few weeks to complete

  3. What’s wrong with manual site technology assessment? • Investigator frustration due to lack of technical knowledge • Potential to jeopardize sponsor/PI relationship • Possible investigator drop-out and loss of valuable site • Self-reported information is notoriously inaccurate • Paper-based information is often transferred to Excel, allowing for errors to be introduced

  4. What’s wrong with manual site technology assessment? • Paper-based information is not readily accessible to assist with remediation • Valuable site data is lost after a study concludes • Antiquated paper-based capture of technology information is inconsistent with the advancement of EDC

  5. What’s wrong with manual site assessment? • Hours wasted by CRAs on information-gathering could be spent more productively • Hours spent nudging site staff to provide complete information • Last resort involves hours spent visiting sites to collect information • Expensive and time-consuming • Problematic when international sites are involved

  6. What’s wrong with manual site assessment? • A manual approach means: • Wasted time and money • Personal frustration for PIs and CRAs • Unreliable data • Delayed study start-up There is a better way…

  7. A better way… • VISTA

  8. What is VISTA? • Sophisticated, web-based service to assess site technology instantly • Customizable qualitative questionnaire to gather non-technical site information • Specifically designed for use by non-technical people in clinical research  Automated vs. manual Electronic vs. paper Efficient vs. time-consuming Economical vs. costly Easy vs. labor-intensive

  9. What will be my ROI? The VISTA promise… • Avoid costly start-up delays due to inadequate or incompatible technology • Accurately forecast cost of upgrade needs, provisioning, connectivity, etc. • Shorten study timeline: up to 2 weeks • Improve staff efficiency/productivity • Retain PIs and valued investigative sites

  10. What will be my ROI? The VISTA promise… • Avoid budget overruns due to: • Need to recruit additional sites • Unanticipated technical problems • Cost-effectively assess technology at international sites • Mitigate risk of technology failure before study start • Preserve your staff effort/dollar investment with instantly accessible site historical data

  11. Realize the many benefits of VISTA today • Easy to use • Fast • Accurate • Comprehensive • Technology and vendor agnostic • works with any EDC software • Secure • Flexible • Whatever your information needs, we have a customized solution for you • Cost-saving
