Description
Obtaining informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical clinical research, yet traditional paper-based processes often slow down enrollment and introduce administrative inefficiencies. The eConsent module in the Diamind Clinical Trials Management Solution (DCTMS) modernizes this process, enabling rapid, compliant, and patient-friendly consent collection. With features tailored for diverse trial requirements, the eConsent module ensures a seamless experience for both patients and clinical teams.
Designed to support various consent workflows, including patient-informed, surrogate, emergency, and deferred consent, the eConsent module is versatile and adaptable to the needs of different trials. It accommodates multiple modalities such as electronic, paper, and email-based consents, ensuring inclusivity and flexibility. By integrating directly with other trial workflows like randomization and drug management, the module streamlines patient onboarding and minimizes delays caused by redundant or disconnected processes.
The eConsent module is particularly valuable in time-sensitive and acute care settings, where every minute matters. It can reduce the time required for consent from over 30 minutes to just 5 minutes, therefore ensuring that patients can be enrolled quickly and accurately. Its robust compliance features adhere to global regulatory standards, including FDA, GDPR, and HIPAA, providing confidence that every consent is securely captured and documented. With multi-language support and patient-centric design, the eConsent module enhances both trial efficiency and participant engagement, making it an indispensable tool for modern clinical research.
Why eConsent?
Traditional consent processes are often cumbersome, time-intensive, and error-prone. The DCTMS eConsent module eliminates these inefficiencies by providing:
- Integrated Workflows: Seamlessly connects with screening, randomization, and patient enrollment pipelines.
- Time Savings: Reduces the time for obtaining consent from over 30 minutes to under 5 minutes.
- Improved Compliance: Centralized tracking ensures complete documentation and adherence to regulatory guidelines.
How It Works
- Customizable Consent Forms: Design forms tailored to the study's requirements, with fields for necessary patient or surrogate inputs.
- Integrated with Patient Portals: Patients can review, sign, and submit consents remotely or on-site.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Track the consent process and maintain audit logs for compliance checks.
- Secure Storage: All signed documents are encrypted and stored securely, with controlled access for authorized personnel.
eConsent in Acute Settings
