Carlstadt, NJ, April 24, 2006 -- Data Communique, a leading provider of technology-enabled publishing solutions, today announced the launch of CRF Bridge, an application designed to bring together electronic data capture (EDC) and print in one single workflow. CRF-Bridge eliminates the need for clinical research professionals to decide between EDC or print, while providing a cost-effective single point of contact for management of all data collection and trial management needs. Data Communiqué will launch CRF Bridge at the upcoming Association of Clinical Research Professionals' (ACRP) Global Conference, April 28 through May 2, 2006 in Phoenix Arizona, booth 311.
In the past, clinical research professionals were faced with a dilemma and were forced to make a choice between EDC or traditional print publishing tools to collect and publish data for clinical trials. While the pharmaceutical industry was moving towards EDC, many clinical trial professionals found that they still needed to print the bulk of the clinical research files and provide a paper trail to meet FDA compliance. Data Communiqué's CRF-Bridge allows clinical research professionals to gracefully transition from paper to EDC at their own pace and supports both paper and EDC from document creation through data management. In addition, CRF-Bridge integrates with existing IT infrastructures using a familiar web-based ASP model, tracks inventory and shipments, while facilitating print, storage and distribution anywhere in the world. CRF-Bridge also supports PDA data entry as well as interactive voice recognition.
