"This is the best use of my time to remain current with what is going on in the industry."
The eClinical Forum is releasing the public version of its industry position paper "Audit Trail Review: Strategies for implementing Audit Trail Review".
This group will develop standard approaches, processes, expectations - generate minimum standards for us to meet the opinions of global regulators. Address the problem of generic regulations and create industry guidelines more tangible and actionable.
Team started in August 2024. The goal is to review, prioritize and standardize the audit trail review data checks based on the eCF ATR position paper (2021) and create a list of high impact checks that can be implemented by sponsor companies and technology vendors.
The goal is to produce a list and description of the essential metadata required to be able to reenact the events of the trial.
Congratulations to the joint C-Path/eCF :eCOA Best Practices" Team for publishing their paper “Best Practice Recommendations for Electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment Data Changes” in the peer-reviewed SCDM Journal “Digital First”.

Release of the 2026 electronic Site Readiness Assessment (eSRA)
The latest version of eClinical Forum’s eSRA is now available for download, free and open to the industry. If you work at a clinical research site, eSRA is designed to help you. It's a standardized checklist that lets you evaluate your readiness to support electronic clinical trial processes before a study starts, so you can identify gaps early, not mid-trial.

This year’s workshops focused strongly on the current and future use of Artificial intelligence in clinical research. Planning for the Autumn 2026 Workshops will begin soon.
