Timely payments and workflows rank as a major challenge to the success of clinical trials worldwide
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., June 7, 2021 – Over half of clinical trial investigator sites have less than three months in cash on hand, according the Society for Clinical Research Sites. This statistic coupled with the impact of decreased enrollment, increased expenses due to COVID-19 reveals the dire importance of timely payments between sponsors and sites and is the subject of an upcoming DIA Global webinar led by Greenphire, the global leader in financial lifecycle management software for clinical trials.
The webinar, entitled “Optimizing the Financial Lifecycle from Budget Through Payments,” is scheduled for Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 12:30 pm EST. Greenphire Chief Product Officer Kyle Cunningham will moderate a panel of experts who will discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in both study planning and start-up of clinical trials, which are critical steps needed to ensure the financial health of investigator sites.
“Efficient and effective financial processes are critical to optimizing the speed of a clinical study. The opportunities for streamlining are not confined to just invoicing and payment processes, but rather ensuring a seamless transition from initial planning and budgeting activities through study start-up and activity study management. The combination of workflow automation and stakeholder connectivity, even in the early stages of a clinical study, can have a powerful impact on study acceleration,” Cunningham said.
The panel will offer insights into how financial processes impact the success of a trial through real-life examples, where efficiencies can be found and the importance of connecting stakeholders and workflows through all steps of a clinical study.
Guests of the panel include industry veterans: Lenny Parrnelli, a financial consultant with CATO SMS, Ryan Kelly, Associate Director of Product Management of Greenphire, and Ashley Baxter, Greenphire’s Senior Business Optimization Specialist.
