Webinar: EDC vs eSource - Is it Time to Move
eSource is a growing topic and trend in the clinical trial industry, but adoption and uptake have been slow. As an industry, we have become comfortable with Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and some may be nervous that this is the end of traditional EDC. eSource promises to be a solution that provides real-time data collection and access, which can cut huge amounts of time and effort in the trial process. For example, how can a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) perform source data verification when the data are eSource? There are challenges in the adoption of eSource from regulatory compliance concerns to technology barriers and costs of change management. With such challenges, is there still room for traditional EDC? This webinar will pose the question if eSource is better than EDC and vice versa. The featured speakers will explain EDC and eSource in some detail and then look at the pros and cons of both in an attempt to take a balanced view. The listeners should leave the webinar having a solid understanding of the challenges that they would face today if they were to adopt eSource for their next clinical trial but also an idea of where eSource will likely go in the future.
