Too Many Logins, Too Little Time

TOO MANY LOGINS, TOO LITTLE TIME THE PROBLEM FACING CLINICAL RESEARCH ERS T oday, many clinical researchers are participating in complex trials. For every clinical trial they conduct, researchers must remember many separate passwords and logins, each unique to the system or organization with which they're working. Remembering these multiple logins is not only inconvenient and frustrating, but it wastes valuable time, energy, and brain space. Here, we take a look the current problems facing researchers and the way they can focus on finding the right cure instead of the right code. MOST OF THE TECHNOLOGIES INVESTIGATIVE SITES USE REQUIRE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM LOGIN AND PASSWORD. A clinical researcher may need to access 15 or more vital technologies in a single day. including..
