A CTTI survey identified that investigators and research staff believe electronic portals have the potential to increase the efficiency of expedited safety reporting to research sites, but in practice are difficult to use and add to the complexity of the system.
CTTI’s IND Safety Advancement Project Team developed recommendations for Desired Attributes of Electronic Portals for Expedited Safety Reporting to help mitigate these issues for those involved in safety reporting.
We encourage you to share these recommendations with your colleagues involved in safety reporting. Together, we can build a better system and overcome #hyperportalosis.
