So You Want a New Computer System?

摘要

The increasing complexity, regulatory requirements, data collection and document volumes, and pressure to decrease the time and cost of clinical research have combined to force clinical research sites, sponsors and CROs to modernize and expand their use of computer systems. The increasing complexity and interaction of these systems increases the challenge. The net effect is that modernizing computer systems is becoming both more important and more difficult, while the lifetime of new systems becomes shorter.
