Technology

Quintiles Outcome’s research solutions integrate specialized technology into every phase of a study. We believe that technology plays a critical role in a successful registry or post-approval program and building the solution around the most appropriate technologies improves efficiency, ROI, and site satisfaction, and decreases the time to results. Our technologies are unique because they are specifically designed for evaluating real-world outcomes.

Built for busy clinical practice: Streamlined and intuitive, Quintiles Outcome’s web-based, thin client platform is easy to learn and simple to use. It is the most widely used post-approval platform in the world, capturing data from a leading number of programs and patients. We provide flexibility in data capture with a system that integrates multiple options (web, telephone, offline, fax, and existing office systems). Our systems are highly secure, with proven, reliable performance, and are available for data entry 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Providing robust, up-to-date study metrics: Quintiles Outcome uses a centralized, real-time database for study data capture, which enables sponsors and advisors to monitor the progress of the registry or study, to review key project and safety metrics, and even to see changes in the regional therapeutic area market in real time throughout the study.

Delivering value: Most importantly, our technology focuses on features that bring value back to the sponsors and the sites. Our system offers sites real-time access to data and reports, patient education, and treatment guidelines or recommendations. For the sponsor, we provide real-time metrics and access to the data as well as unique, real-time analytic tools.

Global capabilities: Quintiles Outcome’s systems are designed for international use and localization and are currently used in 90 countries.
