Transforming Clinical Research Performance with SiteGrades

Todata Analytics has recently introduced SiteGrades, a groundbreaking business intelligence platform tailored for clinical research sites. As the demands of clinical research grow, the need for efficient, data-driven solutions has never been greater. SiteGrades addresses this need by creating a seamless flow of real-time insights across existing systems, enabling research sites to enhance their operational performance, patient recruitment, and overall profitability.

A Solution to Industry Challenges

The clinical research sector generates an immense amount of data through various systems, including Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, and financial software. However, the challenge lies in effectively capturing this data to derive actionable insights. Many research sites struggle with manual data entry and consolidation, which hampers their ability to respond to changing environments swiftly. SiteGrades eliminates these bottlenecks by functioning in the background with current tools, thereby minimizing disruption to site workflows.

Nicole Osborn, the former head of Meridian Clinical Research and now CEO of Todata, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "SiteGrades revolutionized the way I operated Meridian. It became integral to how we scaled our site operations and developed strategic partnerships with Sponsors and CROs. Each department relied on the insights provided daily." Under her leadership, Meridian expanded to over 30 locations thanks to the efficiencies introduced by early versions of SiteGrades.

Key Features of SiteGrades

SiteGrades stands out with several critical capabilities that address specific needs within the clinical research landscape:

• - True Profitability Grading: The platform offers granular analysis across various dimensions, including sites, studies, Sponsors, and therapeutic areas, empowering users to identify genuine financial performance drivers.
• - Enhanced Enrollment Tracking: By providing clear demographic insights of patient databases and automating monitoring against established goals, SiteGrades optimizes recruitment efforts.
• - Optimized Capacity Planning: The system integrates various factors—staffing needs, facility utilization rates, and seasonal trends—to forecast and manage resources effectively.
• - Improved Sponsor and CRO Relations: With enhanced visibility into pipelines and quick responses to feasibility questionnaires, SiteGrades strengthens collaboration between research sites and their Sponsors.

Harnessing the GRADES Framework

The heart of SiteGrades lies in its unique, proprietary GRADES framework specifically adapted to the needs of clinical research. This framework utilizes a dynamic scoring system that evaluates and reflects performance while aligning with a site’s strategic priorities. The objective data provided facilitates informed decision-making regarding growth strategies, resource allocation, and overall site management.

Andrew Kimball, Chief Commercial Officer of Todata, emphasized the importance of timely data in the clinical research market. He stated, “In business development, timing is everything. SiteGrades equips sites with up-to-date information that allows for quick, accurate responses to Sponsors’ inquiries.”

Commitment to Integration and Security

Todata's commitment to enhancing existing systems means that SiteGrades allows for rapid integration without workflow disruptions for site personnel. Data ownership remains with the research sites, ensuring that they maintain full control over their information while SiteGrades operates with secure, read-only access.

Maintaining HIPAA compliance and enterprise-grade security standards during both implementation and everyday use is a priority for Todata, further solidifying the platform's reliability in an industry where data integrity is paramount.
