AMoreOrganizedApproachtoInformedConsent

Informed consent is a fundamental part of ethical clinical research. Before participating in a clinical trial, individuals need to receive relevant information about the study and make an informed decision about participation.

For research sites, managing consent documentation involves more than collecting a signed form. Teams must organize consent records, maintain visibility into consent status and manage documentation as studies and protocols change.

Traditional paper-based processes can create additional administrative work. Documents may be stored in different locations, consent statuses may need to be updated manually, and teams may find it difficult to maintain a clear overview of consent-related activities.

Dream IT² eConsent is intended to support a more organized digital approach to informed consent management, connecting consent-related information with broader clinical research workflows.

Whyclinicalresearchteamsneedorganizedconsentworkflows

Managing multiple consent documentsdocumentation

Clinical studies may involve different consent forms, revisions and supporting documents. Keeping them organized and associated with the correct study is an important operational responsibility.

Maintaining participant records

Research teams need to know which consent documentation is associated with each participant and be able to locate the relevant records when required.

Handling consent updates

Protocol changes and updated consent documents can introduce additional coordination requirements, including identifying participants who may need to be re-consented.

Monitoring consent activities

Coordinators need an organized way to review consent-related activities and identify outstanding documentation.

KeycapabilitiesofDreamIT²eConsent

1. Digital consent documentation
Organize consent documents and related information in a digital environment. A structured approach helps research teams manage consent records alongside other study documentation rather than treating them as isolated files.
2. Participant consent records
Associate consent-related information with relevant study and participant records. This provides a useful organizational foundation for reviewing consent documentation throughout a participant's involvement in a study.
3. Consent status visibility
Maintain a clear view of consent-related statuses. Status-based organization can help research teams distinguish between records requiring attention and those that have progressed through the applicable workflow.
4. Re-consent management support
Changes to study documentation can require additional consent activities. An organized approach to re-consent information can help teams identify relevant records and coordinate follow-up activities.
5. Connected study workflows
Consent activities are closely related to subject management, study documentation and regulatory records. A connected environment can help teams manage these activities in the context of the wider study.
