SCHWARZ BIOSCIENCES Successfully Implements VISTA for an EDC Study
VISTA web-based site technology assessment service successfully used in a SCHWARZ BIOSCIENCES Electronic Data Capture clinical study.
Media, PA (PRWEB) February 6, 2007
Scientific Software Tools, Inc. (SST), a leader in the area of technology-enabling software and services for clinical trials, has launched a newly improved website for VISTA, the web-based investigative site technology assessment service offered by the company.
The VISTA website now boasts several new additions and a change in design, which provides a cleaner look that is more reader-friendly. One of the main highlights is a flash video which demonstrates how VISTA enhances the clinical trial process by shortening the time required for study start-up.
Currently, site technology assessments are conducted manually and can take as long as two weeks to complete. In contrast, VISTA shortens the assessment time to a few minutes, resulting in substantial time and cost savings for pharmaceutical sponsors, CROs, and EDC vendors. fresh
Companies seeking to find out more about improving their EDC clinical trials can also view the %u201CResource Library%u201D, which offers a wealth of information about automated site assessment and the value it provides to the EDC study process. In addition, look out for the all-new %u201CCase Studies%u201D section, which illustrates the usage of VISTA in different real-life applications within the industry.
Elise Furman, President of SST, said, %u201CThe newly revamped VISTA website shows our commitment in educating the market about automated site assessment. We decided to introduce these much-needed educational resources into our website as many people in the industry still fail to appreciate the problems associated with manual site assessment methods.%u201D
%u201CIn particular, the flash video is an entertaining portrayal of the problems faced by site investigators and clinical staff when using existing manual methods. These manual surveys often demand highly technical information from investigators which they do not possess, resulting in study delays and inaccuracies. We believe the video will help to convey the frustration associated with manual site assessment and convince viewers of the value that VISTA adds to the study start-up process.%u201D
