The adoption of electronic health records by hospitals and providers has increased engagement in Health Information Technology (HealthIT) activities. Nora Belcher of the Texas eHealth Alliance speaks on how HealthIT will change the pharma landscape for drug development.

Clinical trials have changed significantly in the past decade with increasingly large and complex global studies. Multi-center, multinational trials are common, with complicated treatment protocols, large staffs, and huge data sets muddling the clinical trial processes. With years of development time and millions in R&D invested in a new treatment before it reaches the trial stage, there is incredible pressure on investigators to deliver quality data.

A recent eConsent survey reinforces the notion that this tech innovation is the next clinical trial solution the industry will adopt.

Adopting eConsent provides patients with adequate information on studies they may choose to participate in, and thus improving the rate of patient satisfaction and retention.

With the term "innovation" a buzzword du jour these days, the important quest for industry is to reimagine R&D using its new capabilities to apply real-world evidence, patient engagement, and collaborative technologies.
