Visit Scheduling
Easily set up virtual and in-person meetings, by pre-defining your availability and have prospective participants select a convenient time for their pre-consent or consent and other visits, depending on study protocol requirements.
A researcher simply fills in their availability on the scheduler, then when a prospective participant completes the study specific contact form, is prompted to select a specified date for their visit.
This can best be achieved through the Your Research App but can also be done from any digital device with an internet connection.
Key features
Predefine your availability
Experience the unparalleled efficiency of our Visit Scheduler module.
Predefine study visits in accordance with the study protocol, your and your facilities availability, and let participants select their preferred time to meet.
Automated Scheduling
Electronic visit scheduling enables automated scheduling of participant visits based on predefined criteria and visit windows.
The system can automatically assign suitable time slots, taking into account factors such as participant availability, study protocol requirements, and site capacity, simplifying the scheduling process for researchers.
Reminder and Notification System
Electronic visit scheduling incorporates a reminder and notification system that sends automated reminders to participants about upcoming visits. These reminders can be delivered via email, text messages, or through a dedicated participant portal, ensuring participants are well-informed and prepared for their scheduled visits.
This feature helps reduce no-show rates and improves participant adherence to the study protocol.
Participant Self-Service
The Your Research electronic visit scheduling module provides a participant self-service portal, allowing participants to view their scheduled visits, reschedule appointments if needed, and update their availability.
This feature empowers participants by giving them control over their visit schedule, making it more convenient for them to manage their participation in the clinical trial.
It promotes participant engagement and satisfaction while reducing the administrative burden on study coordinators.
Benefits and value
Automation improves participant convenience
Visit scheduling allows for real-time tracking of participant progress and visit completion, enabling researchers to promptly address any deviations or issues, ultimately improving data accuracy and trial integrity.
Increased Efficiency
Electronic visit scheduling in clinical trials streamlines the process of scheduling and managing participant visits, reducing the administrative burden on both researchers and participants.
It allows for automated scheduling, reminders, and notifications, ensuring that visits are scheduled promptly and participants are well-informed, resulting in improved efficiency and time management.
Improved Engagement
Electronic visit scheduling enhances participant engagement by providing convenient and accessible options for scheduling and managing visits.
Participants can easily view and select available time slots, reschedule appointments if needed, and receive automated reminders and notifications. This level of convenience and flexibility encourages active participation and reduces the likelihood of missed visits, leading to improved adherence and data collection.
Enhanced Protocol Compliance and Data Accuracy
With electronic visit scheduling, researchers can closely monitor protocol compliance and ensure accurate data collection.
The system can enforce visit windows and protocol-specific requirements, preventing missed or delayed visits.
