Electronic management cloud system for clinical trial documents
to improve operational efficiency and quality
DDworksNX/Trial Site (DDTS) is a system developed by Fujitsu Limited that allows you to manage clinical trial documents in a common way on the cloud. By providing our own customized DDTS environment to clinical trial sites, EP-Link contributes to the realization of operational efficiency and quality improvement.

Do you have any of these problems?
-
Printing and filing require a huge amount of work.
-
It is difficult to secure document storage space.
-
Want to reduce postal and visit costs for document exchange.
-
System implementation is a burden with a large initial cost.
EP-Link's services contribute to improving operational efficiency by converting various electronic data used in clinical trials into original documents and digitizing related business processes, providing many benefits such as cost reduction and improved information security.
Advantages of DDTS
-
Reduce the enormous amount of document management work and costs
When documents are received, they can be labeled and stored in an organized state in the system, greatly reducing the man-hours (costs) associated with filing.
-
Easy and speedy transfer of documents
As documents are exchanged on the cloud, the IRB application document and the IRB determination letter can be automatically created and issued within the system.
-
E-mail (Q&A) within DDTS
Queries and responses can be recorded within the system for each site. You can also easily search for past interactions.
-
Streamline document viewing and search to avoid the risk of document loss
IRB (Institutional Review Board) related documents are stored in the cloud, so they can be viewed remotely and directly. Since documents are not moved, there is no risk of loss, and there is no need to arrange and reserve a reading room.
-
Significantly reduces document storage space
Since all documents such as protocol, Investigator's Brochure, and safety information are stored electronically, the storage space of clinical trial documents can be greatly reduced.
-
Digitization of IRB review materials
Since IRB review materials can be checked on the cloud, it is possible to reduce the time and complexity of shipping and destroying materials to be distributed to IRB committee members and the risk of information leakage.
