Running a clinical trial is a monumental task. Between navigating complex protocols, ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing massive amounts of data, clinical research sites often find themselves juggling too many priorities with too few resources.
Imagine, for a moment, having a trusted partner to handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on delivering groundbreaking patient care. This is the vision behind Data Discern Bridges—a fractional partner that steps in to ease the burden and streamline clinical research processes.
The Challenge: Clinical Sites Under Pressure
Clinical research sites face a host of challenges that make running trials increasingly difficult. These pain points include:
● Staffing Shortages: Many sites operate with lean teams, struggling to balance daily operations. This leaves staff at risk of burnout and increases your site’s turnover risks.
● AI Limitations: While artificial intelligence has proven helpful in certain areas, it lacks the nuanced expertise and strategic oversight that experienced professionals bring to the table.
● Compliance Risks: As regulatory requirements grow stricter, and the clinical landscape continuously evolves, managing investigator-led trials without expert guidance puts sites at significant risk. A recent article highlights that only 20% of clinical studies meet their deadlines, with regulatory complexities being a contributing factor to these delays.[1]
These challenges create inefficiencies, increase stress, and threaten the integrity of trials. But, with the right partner, these obstacles can be transformed into opportunities.
