WHO WE ARE
The eClinical Forum is a global network of peers. It provides a non‐competitive environment for innovation, learning and collaboration in clinical research.
The eClinical Forum is happy to announce the release of the "Investigator’s signature on electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs), PR2.1"
About the Best Practice Document: There is increased scrutiny by regulatory agencies on the collection of investigator’s signatures as evidence of the overall oversight on the eCRF is reported to the sponsor. eClinical Forum PI Signature Working Group was formed in March 2021 to update the best practice document originally issued in 2017 by identifying best practices that are based on compliance to regulatory requirements and on risks such as reputation, credibility, legal liability of the data being used by the sponsor.

The Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) and eClinical Forum (eCF) Joint Task Force are pleased to announce the publication of an industry position paper “AUDIT TRAIL REVIEW: A KEY TOOL TO ENSURE DATA INTEGRITY” final version based on Industry Feedback. With various electronic data capture modalities becoming the norm and the growing regulatory focus on data collection traceability, audit trails which capture the who, what, when, and why of electronic data entry and amendments are a critical tool. This paper outlines an industry perspective on maximizing the value of implementing the targeted, routine review of these extremely large datasets. It provides recommendations on risk-based use cases for audit trail review (ATR) and the corresponding desired reporting criteria, with suggestions on when to use visualizations and exception report listings to generate key, actionable insights.

The security issue has now been fixed, however, please be vigilant if you have received Emails during April and May purportedly from the eClinical Forum if they are asking for payment or personal information.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us at webmaster3@eclinicalforum.org if you have any questions or concerns.
Voluntary Investigator Site Survey survey concluded with 528 responses.
We had a fabulous level of participation with well over 50 members online from California to Japan participating in our Technology Showcase exploring electronic informed consent and demonstrating Enforme Interactive/Drug Dev’s SecureConsent Application for eICF. Some good discussion helped us to understand the business opportunities and value. Materials are available for download. Expand the article to read more about the event.
The eCF is releasing 3 documents via the eCF website “Members” area (un/pw required). Please feel free to download them and share with other members of your company.

eCF Webinar: Assessing e-Investigator Site Files for compliance with regulatory expectations (eCF eISFQ)
The intention of this webinar is to introduce you to the newest eCF Site Assessment -- the draft eInvestigator Site File Questionnaire (eISFQ). Each question in the eISFQ is based on regulatory authority document statements. It is intended for sites to self-assess their eISF such that sponsors can determine if it is suitable to use for their regulated clinical trials. The eCF eISFQ Team intends to start a pilot with the the eISFQ in late 1Q '23. We would like to present this information to our members to get your feedback and to inspire interest in participating in the pilot.
eCF Webinar: Artificial intelligence can improve patients’ experience in decentralized clinical trials
The clinical trial industry is undergoing a rapid transition toward decentralization, where some or all health assessments are performed remotely in participants’ homes instead of in medical centers. Adopting artificial intelligence in this setting can empower more patients to enroll in trials, successfully complete them without burden, and submit high-fidelity assessments of their health. In this talk, the presenters will discuss insights from their recent article in Nature Medicine on this topic.
