Looking to learn more about Clinical Trial Management software similar to EDGE? Check out these popular alternatives that are closest in terms of key features, functionality, and benefits.
Pros
All research facing staff involved in study set-up use Edge as part of the process to review capacity and capability. We have plans to extend to clinicians acting as Chief and Principal Investigators.
We also give EDGE access to our investigators so they can look up protocols and regulatory documents, as well as our active and upcoming trials by disease site.
Cons
The downside is that the research project is also entered onto the system by the national team which causes duplicate entries.
This is a hindrance for sites that want to use EDGE for more than just a performance tool.
"EDGE - Much more than a research database"
Overall: EDGE can create and support service change to help improve health research. It encourages innovation and collaboration amongst the research community and its development is very much driven by the users. It is very adaptable and easy to use.
Pros: The system allows the admin-site to design the way the site uses the software. Each Research project is displayed with the same information however the site specific page can be tailor made to collect additional information about the project and has options to create a workflow to evidence a procedure or process. The system is much more than a research database where recruitment data is entered. EDGE adopts standard methodologies and processes for reporting and collecting business intelligence. It can be used for in-depth quality assurance checks, financial oversight as well as clinical oversight.
Cons: The implementation of EDGE was made easy by the how adaptable the system is. Workflows have mostly replaced our forms and the electronic pathways have improved our performance as the tasks are completed in a timely fashion. There are some areas where we would prefer tailor-made restricted access. Sites have the ability to create a research project page and for Sponsors this is an advantage as the quality checks that occur from sponsorship application through to submission can be captured. The downside is that the research project is also entered onto the system by the national team which causes duplicate entries.
