Nashville, TN – DigiScript, Inc. and Provisio, Inc. today announced a strategic partnership designed to improve clinical trial training and help pharmaceutical companies more effectively enroll patients in clinical studies.
DigiScript is a worldwide leading developer of distributed e-learning and training solutions for life science professionals. Provisio is an innovative new provider of clinical trial recruitment services, known as iTrials™.
This partnership will allow DigiScript to offer to its clients Provisio’s iTrials Candidate Pool Analysis Report™ and iTrials Patient Recruitment Services, along with its own clinical trial training solution, TrialTrainerPLUS.
“A clinical trial is a complex process that requires a deep understanding of all of the factors involved,” said Eddie Pearson, DigiScript’s CEO. “Both Provisio and DigiScript share that understanding, as well as a commitment to streamlining the clinical trial process. By joining forces, we are bringing the very best in training and recruitment together and ultimately helping companies bring their compounds to market as swiftly as possible.”
Provisio’s iTrials Candidate Pool Analysis Report is a customized analytical report that uses proprietary data to identify the number and locations of potential clinical trial patients and investigators. Pharmaceutical companies use the report to refine and optimize their clinical trial recruitment plans. The candidates are ranked according to the strength of their match to protocol and their proximity to a trial site. Provisio’s iTrials Recruitment Services then seek out and notify qualified candidates, managing their recruitment and trial enrollment. The iTrials Data Universe™ currently represents about 20 million patients (some 7% of the U.S. population) and 60,000 physicians from 2000 healthcare organizations
“Our iTrials services help pharmaceutical companies by gathering, analyzing and managing the data that goes into patient recruitment, which is instrumental in conducting a successful trial,” said Mike Hassell, CEO of Provisio. “iTrials is a terrific complement to DigiScript’s TrialTrainerPLUS. Each of these complementary solutions significantly improves the clinical trial process, and together they are an even more powerful improvement on current practices.”
DigiScript’s TrialTrainerPLUS is a flexible training solution that combines on-demand and live web conferencing technology with targeted clinical training services. It is an interactive training tool that is used by 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies to deliver consistent and cost effective clinical trial training. TrialTrainerPLUS uses web-based technology to enhance the clinical study training associated with investigator kick-off meetings and a variety of other training needs.
“TrialTrainerPLUS is designed specifically with the needs of study teams in mind,” said Pearson. “By leveraging the power of web-based technology, it enables companies to overcome the logistical and financial obstacles that live clinical trial training events typically face. It has proven to not only reduce costs, but also minimize trial length and improve retention.”
According to the terms of the partnership, DigiScript and Provisio will collaborate immediately in sales and operational planning.
