Shorter Study Start-Up Times Targeted with Site Assessment Process Tool
Scientific Software Tools (Media, PA) has released the latest version of VISTA, its Web-based automated site technology assessment service. The new service incorporates additional features to assess for e-clinical studies.
VISTA allows qualitative surveys conducted by the investigative site-—including the technology survey—to be completed online, which eliminates paper-based surveys and manual entry into a database. Also, this Web-based process allows investigators a single point of contact for all required surveys.
VISTA presents the data obtained from the surveys and the technical assessment in XML format, which allows for easier data sharing into databases, as well as improved data sharing between different systems used by all parties involved, including clinical staff, investigators, sponsors, and others.
VISTA Plus includes additional data capture and reporting, and VISTA Services includes additional components to the basic service.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
