5 examples of data sets that are shared between Flex Databases CTMS & eTMF

A study published in the Journal of Medical Systems found that integrating eTMF and CTMS systems resulted in a 50% reduction in the time required to identify missing documents and a 75% reduction in the time required to resolve missing document issues. Flex Databases CTMS & eTMF are interconnected to deliver you the highest possible level of data completion and avoid missing documents issue.

Let’s have a look at the types of data that are shared between our CTMS & eTMF.  

  • Study and site information: study protocol, study team details, site locations, and contact details for site personnel.

Investigators and Sites Management – a part of CTMS where all the medical institutions are added once and then can be assigned as sites for any project

  • Subject data: subject demographics, screening, enrollment, and randomization data.

Subject Tracking and Invoicing – a part of CTMS to track enrollment and distribute the information across the system

  • Visit and monitoring data: visit schedules, visit details, assessments, and procedures performed along with monitoring reports, follow-up visits, and any corrective and preventative actions taken.

CRA Activity Management – a part of CTMS to arrange all monitoring activities, create monitoring reports, and manage the project

  • Regulatory documents: Investigator Brochure (IB), protocol amendments, and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approvals.
  • Site communication: site initiation and closeout documents, training records, and any correspondence between the study team and site personnel.

At the end of the day – an e-system is not a place to put all the information in, it is a place to find the information and use it. So go ahead and use everything you have in it. For example, once you created a monitoring report in CTMS send it directly to your eTMF and use it when needed.

The Holy Triangle of TMF:  Is It Really Enough to Measure TMF Health by Tracking Its Completeness? 

When vendors build tools to evaluate TMF health, they usually focus on three main KPIs: completeness,  timeliness and quality.  These metrics are obviously important, but are they enough?  A real TMF user will go further and ask the next question:  How long did it take the document to move through each of these stages?  The […]
