Case Study: a large CRO company doubles monitoring productivity with CRIO eSource

CRO uses CRIO eSource to double monitoring productivity

A large CRO faced a significant challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic when travel restrictions and site closures prevented their clinical research associates (CRAs) from conducting on-site monitoring visits, creating a massive backlog that threatened data quality and productivity.

The CRO partnered with CRIO and leveraged its eSource platform to implement a new remote monitoring strategy. This solution allowed CRAs to become dramatically more productive, achieving 55% more monitoring days per month and a 20% increase in pages reviewed daily, leading to an overall 1.9x increase in monitoring productivity. CRIO’s technology also improved data quality and CRA retention, demonstrating that remote monitoring is a powerful and efficient alternative to traditional methods.
