Three Generations of RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management)

With all the focus on various data capture solutions in the clinical trials world over the past decade(s), few people seem to have noticed the exponential advances made in the real workhorse systems of the trials: RTSM. Also known as IVR, IWR and IRT, these systems actually execute randomization, blinded supply and resupply management to depots and sites, and most importantly of all, drug dispensing. Is there anything more important to get right?
