CRFManager® is a web-based resource management system primarily used for the administration of clinical research studies and other day-to-day aspects of facility management.
The system provides a place to record study management data alongside resource management and participant scheduling. The system can be used by research facilities, clinics and any other business that would benefit the functionality.
The CRN’s Open Data Platform (ODP) is a Business Intelligence (BI) Platform. It is used by more than 3,000 researchers, academics and healthcare professionals to visualise our research data in creative ways. For example, the ODP Research Targeting Tool is now used to help place research studies in areas of high prevalence of disease.
This tool holds information about the total available workforce, their skills and training.
This tool is particularly useful in making estimates of what might be required on the basis of the numbers of study participants, equipment quantities and venue size / configuration before a Study Protocol is available based on limited known characteristics of a study.
