Introduction
In the domain of clinical operations concerning the management of clinical trial data and documents, the transition from customized to standardized solutions presents challenges and opportunities.
This article delves into the strategic process of incorporating Veeva's standard Study Archival feature into a clinical operations vault utilized for CTMS, SSU, and eTMF.
Simultaneously, it underscores the decommissioning of the current customer-specific archival solution within the Clinical vault (specifically built for eTMF). The emphasis is placed on various considerations, phased implementation strategies, and ensuring a smooth transition without any adverse impact on data integrity.
Understanding the Landscape
Customized solutions play a pivotal role in clinical operations management, precisely tailored to meet specific operational requirements. Nevertheless, conforming to industry standards becomes crucial, prompting the adoption of standardized solutions such as Veeva's Study Archival feature.
The custom solution primarily focused on electronic trial master file (eTMF) archival. However, the adoption of standard archival expanded the scope, enabling the customer to encompass a solution not only for eTMF documents but also for comprehensive archival of Study clinical trial data from the Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) module.
Considerations and Planning
The process of transitioning demands meticulous planning to mitigate potential disruptions.
Critical considerations include preserving data integrity, structuring a methodical phased implementation and decommissioning strategy for custom solutions, ensuring compliance and data security, assessing business processes gaps, planning comprehensive end-to-end archival procedures involving both business and IT aspects, and evaluating the impact on existing systems or integrations when adopting Veeva's standardized archival system.
