Event overview:
Becoming a partner of choice is a goal for many sponsors, and it all starts with a keen focus on removing the difficulties of trials for sites. Why then do slow and unpredictable clinical trial payments continue to be the #1 complaint from sites, year after year?
According to Mark Ryan, VP and Head of Site Management in the America’s for Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, the Payments solution you choose makes all the difference. Without the right expertise behind it, technology can complicate the process and potentially make it even more difficult than paying sites manually.
