As an integral part of the execution of a study, GRS is committed to providing the best-in-class services in every management and operational area critical to the successful and timely completion of a trial. Of all our competitive advantages, our communications tools are the most unique. Our tools integrate communications that maximize investigator engagement and commitment, enhance subject recruitment and leverage opportunities for ongoing training and study-related education.

GRS has developed a suite of cost-effective operational and educational communications tools and services. At its strategic core, our communications suite is a secure network between the site and GRS which will promote subject identification and recruitment, sharing of educational resources, and facilitation of on-going support for the site. The tools that compose the GRS communications suite include:

Desktop Communicator

Desktop Communicator is a proprietary desktop communications software platform designed for secure and comprehensive resource management, event scheduling and the delivery of educational programs. This highly visible, 24/7 communications hub acts as the portal or entry point to all program and investigator information. Our proprietary desktop communications tool places an icon on every study site and project team computer that ensures all study information is current, prioritized and visible.

Virtual Meeting Portals

GRS offers proprietary software platforms for the delivery and management of communications with large synchronous groups including Investigator Meetings as well as smaller groups such as Advisory Boards, Data Safety Monitoring Boards, Clinical Events Committees and IRBs/ECs. Virtual on-line meeting rooms can be organized to accommodate a broad range of necessary meeting and document review and real-time collaborative decision making scenarios. Documents can be reviewed, presented and edited in real-time to speed decision making and reporting.

Resource Center
