Case Study: Franciscan Health streamlines clinical research operations with WCG Clinical

Franciscan Health standardizes research turnaround to 30 days with WCG Clinical

Franciscan Health, a multi-center health system, faced challenges adapting to the increasing complexity and administrative burden of clinical trials. To establish a standardized infrastructure and gain access to competitive studies, they partnered with vendor WCG Clinical to leverage a suite of services including IRB and IBC review, study start-up, coverage analysis, budget development, and contract negotiation.

The solution implemented by WCG provided Franciscan Health with a flexible, scalable partnership that offloaded administrative work. This allowed for faster study start-up through parallel workflows, improved budget accuracy and contract terms, and provided surge capacity without the need to hire additional internal staff. The results included a system-wide research standard, rapid turnaround times to meet sponsor expectations, and successful access to COVID-19 trials, ultimately supporting the health system's research goals and ensuring patient care.
