The WIRB-Copernicus Group’s (WCG) Clinical Services Division has introduced Velos eResearch eXpress, an out-of-the-box, cloud-based solution that enables clinical research sites to centralize and manage research activities on a single, automated technology platform. Velos eResearch eXpress is a Site CTMS designed for smaller institutions and independent sites.  Velos eResearch eXpress is fully-scalable and is designed to support the sustainable advancement of independent and emerging clinical research sites by making the execution of their research operations more transparent and organized.
 
"A clinical research site’s ability to attract new studies is fundamental to its viability as a business," said Donald A. Deieso, PhD, executive chairman and chief executive officer of WCG. "Because biopharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations (CROs) use data on past performance to evaluate which sites to select for participation in upcoming trials, sites must continuously perform a careful ‘two-step’: efficiently managing existing research while positioning themselves to attract additional research opportunities. WCG is proud to provide sites with affordable, accessible, turn-key solutions to help them master this complicated dance."
  
Velos eResearch eXpress is a pre-configured version of Velos eResearch, an enterprise platform embedded with research best practices, as well as standards-based libraries and templates for accuracy and compliance in research management. The solution also aims to increase efficiency by consolidating all aspects of research management on a single automated platform: financial management, patient management, study management, calendaring, and reporting.
 
According to the company, Velos eResearch eXpress can be implemented in days and is fully scalable, with a multi-site, multi-department set-up that allows for growth as well as a path to transition to the more comprehensive, enterprise solution.
 
"The scalability of our Velos eResearch eXpress solution is especially useful for smaller institutions that plan to one day initiate their own research, or for hospitals and health systems that are seeing research spread from one department or specialty to an entire hospital or system," observed Jonathan Zung, PhD, Executive Vice President of WCG’s Site Division. "And with the formation of independent site networks, as well as the consolidation of health systems and physician practices, flexibility and versatility are critical features of any site-specific solution."
