eShowcase: VISTA

Shorter Study Start-Up Times Targeted with Site Assessment Process Tool

Scientific Software Tools (Media, PA) has released the latest version of VISTA, its Web-based automated site technology assessment service. The new service incorporates additional features to assess for e-clinical studies.

VISTA allows qualitative surveys conducted by the investigative site-—including the technology survey—to be completed online, which eliminates paper-based surveys and manual entry into a database. Also, this Web-based process allows investigators a single point of contact for all required surveys.

VISTA presents the data obtained from the surveys and the technical assessment in XML format, which allows for easier data sharing into databases, as well as improved data sharing between different systems used by all parties involved, including clinical staff, investigators, sponsors, and others.

VISTA Plus includes additional data capture and reporting, and VISTA Services includes additional components to the basic service.
