LEVERAGING KNOWLEDGE - DRIVING PERFORMANCE - DESIGNING THE FUTURE

Clinical Forum Teams work extensively with industry, healthcare organisations, academia regulators to link stakeholders and to facilitate the development of the environment for electronic clinical research. We have conducted surveys, developed tools, built an extensive base of knowledge of information relevant to the successful implementation of eClinical solutions.

eClinical Forum has released the 2024 version of their “eSource Readiness Assessment” – eSRA

It is a response to the growing expectation by regulatory agencies for clinical trial sponsors to verify that clinical research site systems (e.g., EHRs) comply with requirements to protect confidentiality and provide accurate and reliable data for the use in a regulated research environment. V2024 includes updates based on the EMA Guideline on computerised systems and electronic data in clinical trials.

eCF Americas Autumn Workshop -- loads of information, networking and fun

eClinical Forum's Autumn Americas Workshop last week at Janssen in PA was terrific! It was so dynamic with participants from so many different eCF members companies presenting, discussing, networking and generally having a good time together. We had participants from Acadia, AiCure, Amgen, Astellas, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol Myers Squibb, Clario, CSL Behring, Early Access Care, eClinical Solutions, GSK, J&J/Janssen, Medidata, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Merck & Co, Merck KGaA, Safira, and Uniphi. But, still we missed our members who could not attend ... Abbvie, Alexion, Ferring, Oracle, Novartis, Pfizer, Signant Health, and Veeva. I look forward to more collaborating over the winter and to be together in the Spring!

Congratulations to our Founder, Richard Perkins, on his retirement!!!

After 23 years, Richard Perkins, our founder and chairman is retiring from eClinical Forum. We are so grateful for all of Richard’s guidance over the years, growing the eCF from a workshop with 13 participants in Nov 1999 to now a global organization with over 2300 active participants from 50 member companies (most member companies participating from several regions around the globe) and 10 global project teams. Richard will remain as a behind-the-scenes consultant during a transition period for the rest of 2023.

We had great fun toasting Richard and telling stories at both Blue Bell and Darmstadt workshops. Thanks you Richard for all you have done for us!! We will certainly miss you!!
