\nAlliance Clinical Research is a dedicated research center committed to improving the
\nquality of health in their community through innovative clinical trials. Alliance\u2019s director,
\nLuis Ruda, is passionate about his organization\u2019s motto: We\u2019re serious about clinical research.
\nRuda believes that clinical research is unlike any other business. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to help
\npatients find solutions to their conditions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nAlliance specializes in a variety of therapeutic areas including cardiology, dermatology,
\ngastroenterology, hematology, and nephrology. With this diversity comes complexity and
\nadministrative burden. Managing study documents in paper binders was an ongoing
\nchallenge\u2014and the challenge was growing bigger with each new study.\n<\/p>\n
\nRuda believes that for clinical research to be truly innovative, sites must have a strong technology
\nfoundation. He was frustrated with the limitations and inefficiency of paper binders. The real estate and
\nmaterial expense was difficult to justify given the long-term administrative effort required to keep each
\nbinder up-to-date and compliant.\n<\/p>\n
\nWhen Ruda received questions from his study partners, he struggled to respond promptly. \u201cI didn\u2019t have
\naccess to the information I needed right away. I\u2019d have to pull out a binder and flip through hundreds of
\npages to find a single document. It took a lot of time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nRuda saw how electronic health records transformed clinical operations at trial sites. \u201cSo many other
\naspects of my business are enhanced with technology. I knew the same innovation was possible for our
\nstudy binders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nTo improve efficiency, access to information, and reduce operating costs, Ruda turned to eRegulatory
\nsoftware. He needed a solution that was easy to implement and use to reduce the administrative workload
\non his study team.\n<\/p>\n
“My coordinators were able to access the software quickly
\nand use it to reduce their workload within days.”
\n\u2013 Luis Ruda, Director, Alliance Clinical Research<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nAfter reviewing several vendors, Ruda discovered that many systems weren\u2019t affordable and could take
\nmonths to implement and learn.\n<\/p>\n\nAfter hearing that Veeva offered a free eRegulatory system for sites, Ruda was immediately interested.
\n\u201cI knew that Veeva was a well-known company and that many of my sponsors used Veeva software.\u201d
\nUpon learning more, Ruda discovered that Veeva SiteVault Free met his requirements for ease of use.
\nSo he signed up.\n<\/p>\n\n\u201cThe implementation was very, very smooth. The system is self-explanatory, and training was simple.
\nMy coordinators were able to access the software quickly and use it to reduce their workload within days.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\nFeedback from Alliance\u2019s study partners was also positive. Since many of their sponsors use Veeva
\nproducts, minimal training is needed and they can login using the same credentials across all systems.
\n\u201cIt just makes communication and working together a lot easier for both companies,\u201d said Ruda.\n<\/p>\n\nWhen they had questions, Alliance turned to Veeva\u2019s support team. \u201cThey were receptive to our questions
\nand had the answers right away. They even shared their screen so we could follow along. It was so easy,\u201d
\nsaid Luis.\n<\/p>\nThe Results<\/h2>\n
\nWithin eight weeks, Alliance is managing all of their studies within SiteVault Free. When reflecting on the
\nreasons for transferring both new and ongoing studies into the system, Ruda cited the need for immediate
\nresults. \u201cThe time we spend now saves us a considerable amount of time in the long run.\u201d\n<\/p>\n\nThe entire team at Alliance finds SiteVault Free saves them time and reduces administrative burden.
\nRuda\u2019s PIs can access information and sign documents from any online device. Coordinators can quickly
\nsend signature requests and make sure their binders are up to date. \u201cWe can see all expiring documents
\nin one report. It\u2019s just so much easier,\u201d says Ruda.\n<\/p>\n“The time we spend now saves us a considerable amount
\nof time in the long run.”
\n\u2013 Luis Ruda, Director, Alliance Clinical Research<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nRuda\u2019s team can continue to work with monitors and sponsors without the need for frequent onsite visits.
\nSponsors and monitors also appreciate the increased efficiency and transparency that SiteVault Free
\nprovides. Once granted access, monitors assigned to Alliance\u2019s studies can remotely access study
\ndocuments when needed.\n<\/p>\n\nWhen Ruda receives an urgent question, he can respond right away. \u201cWhen a sponsor sees that the site
\nis responsive and engaged in a study\u2019s dialogue, they feel confident in the site\u2019s work. SiteVault Free
\nstrengthens our relationship with sponsors.\u201d\n<\/p>\n“Veeva SiteVault Free helps us dedicate more time for patient
\nrecruitment and care.”
\n\u2013 Luis Ruda, Director, Alliance Clinical Research<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nMore Time for What Matters Most<\/h2>\n
\nWith the time savings realized, Alliance can prioritize their most business-critical goals. Ruda\u2019s team can
\nfocus on patients, study conduct, and recruitment. \u201cThe more time available for recruitment, the more likely
\nwe will be successful with the studies that we were assigned. Veeva SiteVault Free helps us dedicate more
\ntime for patient recruitment and care,\u201d said Ruda.\n<\/p>\n\nAs for other research sites who are looking for an eRegulatory solution, Ruda has some advice: \u201cDon\u2019t be
\nafraid of change. SiteVault Free is so easy to set-up and use \u2013 consider it an investment in the long-term
\nhappiness of your team and the success of your business.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alliance Clinical Research Saves Time with Veeva SiteVault Free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":62366,"parent":0,"template":"","product-link-list":[],"class_list":["post-65235","customer-stories","type-customer-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
