Site System Assessments
The industry’s reference check for site readiness.
The eClinical Forum offers two free system assessment forms of regulatory-based questions for evaluating whether an investigator site system is suitable to provide data and records for clinical trials.
Produced by a team of CRAs and data managers from sponsor organisations, CROs and sites, eSRA lets a site self-assess whether its computerised system can meet clinical research regulations — and lets sponsors ask the same question the same way, everywhere.

A unique group
About the eClinical Forum
The Forum was started in 2000 — a global group run by its members for its members.
Independence, openness and public dissemination have been hallmarks of our success. Members from the pharmaceutical, healthcare, regulatory, academic and support sectors participate in open discussion, networking and exchange that provides the practical information, approach and learning experiences required to drive innovation and to maximise the success of eClinical initiatives.
The non-commercial environment is important to us. Costs are covered through member contributions alone — we don't sell exhibition space, advertising in newsletters, endorse products or engage in other commercial activities. This allows us to reach out to networks not available to other groups.
The group operates in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Membership includes over 50 companies.
“I am impressed to find a group of professionals that not only recognize and discuss challenges, but actually drive strategic direction”
There is nothing quite like the eClinical Forum.
“the best use of my time to remain current with what is going on”
