BOSTON & GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The wait is over for pharmaceutical companies wondering how to strategically implement an electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) system for better clinical research. Four leading scientists from top pharmaceutical companies joined forces to author “How to Implement an ePRO Strategy: A Best Practices Guide,” the definitive handbook for implementing ePRO systems.
The authors are leading scientists with expertise in patient reported outcomes (PROs) and clinical outcome assessments (COAs) as well as clinical and eClinical operations. Together, they collaborated to develop this unique guide and offer it free and electronically to promote the adoption of electronic patient data collection across the clinical development industry. The goal of this guide is to help sponsors, CROs and sites retain institutional memory of their ePRO best practices; and organize to support and accelerate the adoption of ePRO systems in global clinical trials to more accurately capture the voice of patient.
PHT President and CEO Philip Lee said, “PHT is proud to be a part of this project as the ebook represents remarkable collaboration across the pharmaceutical industry. The authors come from different backgrounds and organizations and worked together to create an important and useful guide for their colleagues to further the use of ePRO throughout the industry.”
The guide is segmented into these chapters:
- ePRO Mandates by Regulatory Authorities and Others
- Personnel and Process Changes When PRO Data Endpoints Are Collected
- Personnel Required to Implement an ePRO Strategy
- The Process of Implementing an ePRO Strategy: Strategy First, Tactics Second
- Devices and Instruments Required to Develop a Strategy for ePRO
- Conclusion
Chris Hall, Director of Marketing Programs at PHT, brought together these scientists to write and publish this best practices guide. Chris discusses her experience developing the guide and what she learned from this extensive collaboration: bit.ly/ePROStrategy
