Central Designer
Since the use of electronic data capture (EDC) for clinical studies has become standard, life sciences companies are re-examining how they implement this technology to maximize operational efficiencies. One high-potential area for improving efficiency is the study design process where a protocol is transformed into a completely built EDC study. This multi-dimensional process involves a broad range of critical tasks performed by a wide variety of professionals. While first-generation electronic design tools focused mainly on individual components of study design, they lacked the sophisticated, centralized design environment needed to accommodate today's increasingly complicated and geographically expanding studies.
Central Designer can help life sciences companies dramatically streamline their global, multi-language study development process. This environment surpasses the capabilities of typical design tools by taking advantage of the latest technology – and Phase Forward’s years of experience – to enhance design efficiency and study component reuse, improve workflow, enable simultaneous global collaboration and effectively apply standards throughout the organization. These enhancements are designed to reduce build time, improve data quality and shorten trial delivery time.

Enhance Study Design Efficiencies
- Quickly define and deploy multi-language study workflows and components
- Easily reuse completed study components
- Simplify rules creation and testing via the “Rules Wizard” interface
Increase Reuse and the Application of Standards
- Access approved library components using advanced library search and retrieval capabilities
- Improve library management activities through understanding usage, standardizing study objects and leveraging reusable data mappings
- Define libraries using standards such as CDASH
Improve Communication and Workflow
- Work concurrently with others by accessing the same study design simultaneously
- Streamline user workflow via team-assigned tasks
