Implementation of a Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) can streamline operations, improve data management, and enhance trial oversight. However, the process also brings a range of challenges that must be addressed to achieve a successful implementation. These challenges often stem from technical and human factors, including data quality, system integration, and regulatory demands. Identifying these […]
How long does paying to the sites while running a clinical trial take you? Average figures usually range from 4 to 6 months, even though in the contract, the payment period would typically be a month.
Will you get frustrated if you are paid with a half-year delay? Yeah! Will that motivate you to work more with such a partner? Doubt that.
On-time payments motivate the sites to recruit faster and meet their enrolment targets. And we know how you can get on top of your site payment game: switch to per-procedure payments.
In CTMS, site payments are based on visits, subjects, or procedures performed. We pioneered implementing per-procedure approach in our Subject Tracking & Invoicing module, a part of CTMS. It’s nothing new now, but we believe that we still have the best one.
Here’s an example of how it works:
- The site performs blood sampling or measures the patient’s temperature.
- The system catches it.
- The site gets payments based on this information.
As a result of implementing per-procedure payments, our clients improved the timelines of site payments dramatically and met the contracted estimates of 1 month. That pushed the sites to enroll patients into these studies faster, preferring these Sponsors over the others. Novo Nordisk is an excellent example: they were able to speed up their site payment processes eight times & drastically improved relationships with sites and investigators.
