eSource refers to an electronic system that captures and manages clinical trial source data electronically.
It is an alternative to the traditional paper-based approach where trial source data is recorded on paper forms.
The Your Research eSource module can include electronic case report forms (eCRFs) that are used to collect clinical trial data directly from study participants or clinical trial sites.
Other electronic systems may also be used, such as electronic diaries, electronic informed consent forms, electronic medical records, and electronic laboratory data management systems depending on the specific study requirements.
eSource encompasses a wide range of electronic data collection methods, including electronic health records (EHRs), electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) systems, wearable devices, and more.
Your Research eSource enables the direct and immediate capture of data at the point of care or data generation, eliminating the need for manual transcription or data entry from paper-based records.
With eSource, data is recorded electronically in real-time during patient visits, procedures, or observations.
This feature improves data accuracy and timeliness, reduces the risk of data transcription errors, and allows for more efficient data collection and monitoring throughout the trial.
Â
eSource module includes built-in mechanisms for source data verification. SDV involves comparing the source data collected electronically with the corresponding source documents, such as medical records or lab reports.
This feature ensures data integrity by enabling clinical monitors and auditors to review and verify the accuracy and consistency of the data directly within the eSource system.
SDV in eSource reduces the need for on-site source data verification visits and streamlines the monitoring process.
The Your Research eSource module offers data traceability and audit trail functionalities.
These features track and document changes made to the electronic data throughout the study, including who made the changes, when they were made, and the reason for the modification.
Audit trails provide a comprehensive history of data entries, revisions, and any other relevant actions taken in the eSource system.
This feature enhances data transparency, facilitates regulatory compliance, and supports data integrity and accountability during the clinical trial.
Our eSource module accelerates data collection and supports more efficient study timelines.
eSource improves data accuracy and integrity by eliminating the need for manual data entry or transcription from paper-based records.
With eSource, source data is captured directly at the point of care or data generation, reducing the risk of errors introduced during data transcription.
This leads to higher-quality data, reducing the need for data cleaning and improving the reliability of study results. Additionally, eSource includes built-in data validation checks and range checks, further enhancing data accuracy.
Your Research’s eSource module enables real-time source data capture, eliminating the delays associated with manual data entry or paper-based processes.
Data is recorded electronically as soon as it is generated, enabling faster data availability for monitoring, analysis, and decision-making.
This improves the efficiency of clinical trial processes, reduces turnaround time for data queries, and allows for proactive data management throughout the trial.Â
Our eSource facilitates streamlined data management and monitoring in clinical trials.
Electronic data captured through eSource can be easily integrated with other clinical trial systems, such as electronic data capture (EDC) systems or electronic health record (EHR) systems.
This integration reduces duplicate data entry, enhances data consistency, and improves overall data management efficiency.
Our eSource systems includes data traceability, audit trails, and remote data access, enabling real-time monitoring and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
