CHAPEL HILL, NC (February 18, 2021) — Devana Solutions, LLC is pleased to announce their newest client-partnership with Optimed Research, a well-established Integrated Research Organization (IRO) with over 25 years’ experience running clinical trials. Optimed Research’s main site in Columbus, Ohio, is the central hub where they run over thirty trials under the direction of Owner and Founder Dr. Donald McNeil.
Through the Integrated Research Organization model, Optimed Research partners with independent sites in their network. With a comprehensive Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) training program, Optimed can take a CRC with little to no experience to running a trial independently. Optimed oversees business development, regulatory, data management, and financial support for each of the independent sites, allowing the Investigator and clinical staff to focus on the trial participants and meeting enrollment goals. This process helps to spread clinical trial awareness on a much broader scope.
Due to the vast amount of oversight that Optimed provides to their sites, their VP & Director of Clinical Operations, Annie Schertzer, set out to find a solution to help manage their workload. Annie and other Optimed staff knew it was time to ditch the static spreadsheets to continue with their trending growth. With the addition of the Devana Solutions IGNITE platform, Optimed Research has a more efficient way to manage all of their independent sites within one cloud-based platform, from initial trial lead through trial completion, since Devana integrates with their CTMS, Clinical Research IO. “Optimed Research was already on the cutting-edge of clinical research with their IRO model and CRC training program, but now armed with the IGNITE platform, there are no limitations to what this group can do,” said Devana’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Emily Wike. “I am excited to see what the future holds for Optimed!”
Devana Solutions is pleased to stand alongside Optimed Research as they continue to grow their network of sites, proving that clinical research can be accessible to all!
