Our Webinar Recap 

The recap is available here for your reference in case you need a brief overview of what our experts discussed throughout the webinar. 

1. Patient Recruitment and Enrollment

Recruiting suitable patients is a widespread challenge in clinical trials. KMS Healthcare addressed this by:

  • Developing data interoperability tools to integrate disparate EHR and EMR systems.
  • Using AI to identify ideal patient candidates.
  • Creating digital engagement tools for a seamless enrollment experience.
  • Automating workflows to monitor study progress and achieve key metrics.

2. Real-Time Data Collection and Monitoring

The next on the list is the ability to collect and monitor data in real-time, which is critical for clinical trial success. Hieu Nguyen elaborated on the challenges:

“Data often resides in multiple systems, from EHRs to wearable devices, creating inconsistencies and delays. Without a unified approach, trial sponsors lack the insights needed to act quickly.” – Hieu

KMS addressed these issues through:

  • Integrating EDC tools, RPM devices, and wearables into a single, scalable system.
  • Automation and AI to remove repetitive tasks and ensure consistent data.
  • Real-time dashboards to help clinical teams resolve issues before they impact trial outcomes.

3. Regulatory Compliance and Data Integrity

Navigating complex regulatory frameworks is another critical challenge. Non-compliance can result in fines, delays, and reputational damage. Hieu noted:

“We partner with our client to build a solution with HIPAA and FDA compliant into the process for trials. With the system we built, we are also able to track the login and the audit trails. So that’s the evidence for the compliance record.” – Hieu

Hieu also mentioned how he worked closely with clients to understand their unique regulatory needs and build integrated workflows to automate manual tasks.

4. Financial Operation Management

An essential aspect of managing clinical trials is overseeing financial operations. Hieu explained KMS’s approach:

“We automate the entire financial process, from budgeting to execution, making it easier for sponsors to manage payments and for patients to receive them promptly.” – Hieu

He continued to discuss how a clinical trial solution should go beyond the financial management side and needs to address the payment to patients who join the clinical trials.
