Case Study: Cancer Clinical Trials and Research Unit (CCTU) achieves streamlined digital trial operations, time savings and reduced paper waste with Florence Healthcare

Cancer Clinical Trials and Research Unit (CCTU) - Customer Case Study

The Cancer Clinical Trials and Research Unit (CCTU) at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin, managing 20–30 oncology and haematology studies, faced the inefficiencies of a paper-based system—clutter, errors, storage problems—and resistance from staff and sponsors to going digital. To overcome these hurdles, CCTU partnered with Florence Healthcare and its Site Enablement Platform, using an environmental argument to build support for a paper-to-digital transition.

Florence Healthcare implemented the Site Enablement Platform with hands-on onboarding, standardized templates and electronic signatures, and a user-friendly interface tailored to clinical staff. The change saved several hours per day by reducing filing and administrative work, improved consistency across studies, enabled timelier procedures, cut paper waste, and positioned CCTU as a model site that prompted greater sponsor interest in using Florence.
