"Forte is committed to collaborating with customers to guide the development of the OnCore system," he said. "Because we listen to the customer community, ground-breaking integrations with electronic medical record software, the ClinicalTrials.gov registry database, and NCI's Clinical Trials Reporting Program have all been debuted this year. Additional enhancements introduced in 2012, such as a Coverage Analysis module for billing compliance, have strengthened the OnCore system and kept it the top eClinical solution in the industry."
