"Vial Connect CTMS "
Pros: Since using Vial Connect, our site has become more organized and efficient in managing our research database and operations workflow.

This has allowed our site to identify potential leads quickly and most accurately for specific study protocols. The system is simple to update and offers features that are most beneficial for viewing necessary trial and participant information at all times. When changes need to be made to participant visits and clinic schedules, we are able to simply update to the correct status and enter notes that are trackable and visible to all staff. This supports convenient and clear communication across our entire research team. Vial Connect is a great product to integrate into your research clinic and it’s certainly benefited our site in many ways!
