Electronic Informed Consent: Putting the Pieces Together for Implementation

As clinical trials have moved toward electronic methods for patient recruitment, trial management and data collection, the provision of candidate informed consent has remained a paper-based document that is increasingly outside the trial management process. More and more, the possibility of using electronic formats to enhance the consenting process is being considered. This audio conference examines the FDA guidelines for consent and their relationship to electronic consenting and inspection, as well as the importance of making connections to e-trial management and data capture.

In this presentation, our speaker outlines the steps to using electronic consent and gives examples of how electronic presentation of an informed consent document can increase candidate understanding and access to information. Dr. Brink also provides insight into making the e-consent decision, how to use e-consent to manage trial risk, and FDA guidance regarding e-consenting and its integration into the clinical trial process.

Electronic Informed Consent: Putting the Pieces Together for Implementation is being presented by Dr. Susan Brink, CEO, with ConsentSolutions, Inc. and airs on Thursday, March 18, 2010. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com
