Research Manager

"Gebruik studiemanager"

Pluspunten: Grootste voordeel vind ik dat jezelf op de achtergrond aanpassingen kunt maken zonder afhankelijk te zijn van medewerkers van Research Manager.
Medewerkers proberen mee te denken in gewenste aanpassingen.

Minpunten: Sommige aanpassingen in functionaliteit duren lang. Een nadeel is bijvoorbeeld als je in studiemanager met sjablonen werkt, komen de sjablonen van moment aanmaken studie in beeld. Soms gaan onderzoekers pas maanden later verder waardoor ze verouderde sjablonen gebruiken.

"metc Isala"

Opmerkingen: The best bennefit is the cloud based all in one system for submitting and reviewing any type of study .
The system is easily accessible and supports all parties in the assessment of a study. In addition, the system has an archif function where all documents are saved. The approved and the rejected. The minutes and questions from the committee members remain transparent to all parties at all times. If a printout has to be made for overviews of studies or study components, this system is supporting this. You can sort on every detail of/in the application. This saves the secretariat and its staff a lot of time.It is easy to make overviews on request for investigators or for the competent authority when in need.

Pluspunten: it is easy for investigators to upload their study. They can follow the progress of the descission making process....
The METC has all the docs/letters/review questions/and meeting information in 1 application.
The members of the METC have easy acces to the application and they can add their review from any laptop/computer or phone from anywher in the world as long as there is internet.

Minpunten: It some times can be a bit slow , that can be frustrating!

"Review WCN - LoDoCo2 trial"

Opmerkingen: The helpdesk is not very keen on providing quick responses on more difficult questions.

Pluspunten: The software is easy to use and has very good export options to work with the data during the trial.

Minpunten: That the monitor options are not so well defined. The query module is very counter intuitive and the pages can only be locked after many steps. The same holds for the monitor option.

"User shortcoming point"

Opmerkingen: Its a pitty you can not overwrite some documents.
I mean, for some documents there are templates in Research Manager. But as we have to undersign these documents, we can not overwrite these documents. You have to add a new document instead of overwriting the template!

Pluspunten: Its easy in use and clear! One can see in one blink of an eye which documents are missing.

Minpunten: There is not much I dont least about this software! Just the 1 point I describe here under

"Review by a research nurse"

Opmerkingen: It is easy to use and you can use Study Manager as a project management system which is really helpful and efficient if used by the whole company.

Pluspunten: Easy to use: data manager is user friendly for data entry. Sudy manager gives a clear overview of the trial.

Minpunten: Lack of some functionalities, e.g. I switch a lot from 'Self Service > Invitations' to 'CRF Data' to check the level of the reported data by a subject. There are a lot of clicks involved, it would be easier if you could go directly from a subject number to the CRF data. Also, the program is a bit slow, e.g. to select a site and a subject number.
