The financial sustainability of clinical research sites in Latin America is facing one of its most significant challenges: the rapid and persistent increase in operating costs. This trend was highlighted in the preliminary results of the 2025 LATAM Site Landscape Survey, presented by SCRS during the Ambassador Summit LATAM on November 17 in Buenos Aires. According to… Continue reading How Rising Operating Costs in 2024 Are Impacting Clinical Research Sites in Latin America
During the Ambassador Buenos Aires 2025 event, the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) presented the findings of the Latin American Landscape Survey 2025—a comprehensive assessment of the operational and financial realities of clinical research sites across Latin America. While the report highlights progress in digitalization, operational capacity, and growing interest in standardization, it… Continue reading Accounts Receivable >90 Days: The Biggest Financial Risk for Clinical Research Sites in LATAM (Based on the 2025 Landscape Survey)
At Ambassador Buenos Aires 2025, one of the most relevant events for clinical research sites in the region, the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) presented the results of the Latin American Landscape Survey 2025, a comprehensive analysis of the current state of clinical research in Latin America and the major operational challenges affecting site… Continue reading What Do Research Sites in LATAM Need Today? Key Findings from the 2025 Landscape Survey — and How Trial360 Helps Close Critical Gaps

AI + Research = Real Impact for Clinical Sites Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms how research centers manage clinical trials. Today, more than just a trend, AI has become a strategic ally that optimizes workflows, enhances data accuracy, and accelerates results — all while maintaining the ethical and regulatory rigor that clinical research demands. Below… Continue reading Artificial Intelligence: A Key Ally in Clinical Research
For decades, paper was the backbone of clinical research. However, in today’s clinical trials, paper-based processes have become a barrier to efficiency, traceability, compliance, and visibility. Digitalizing clinical research sites is not just a trend—it is a strategic decision that positions sites as reliable, efficient, and aligned with international regulatory standards (ICH-GCP, FDA 21… Continue reading From Paper to Leadership: How Digitalization Elevates the Value of Your Clinical Research Site
The silent (and growing) expense of paper-based clinical trial sites For years, paper-based documentation has been the standard in clinical trial operations: A-Z folders, pens, highlighters, envelopes, printed paper, and storage boxes are considered just another part of the job. Because it’s such a constant and familiar expense, many assume “paper doesn’t cost anything”—just because… Continue reading “Paper doesn’t cost anything”… Are you sure?
In clinical research, ensuring that a participant meets eligibility criteria and is not enrolled in multiple studies simultaneously (co-enrollment) is critical to ensuring scientific validity, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. However, in many centers with manual workflows, Excel spreadsheets, or disconnected CTMS, errors are common that could affect data integrity or even lead to… Continue reading Co-enrollment, Eligibility, and Compliance: How to Prevent Errors with Real-Time Technology
Introduction Early-phase clinical research centers face unique challenges: complex protocol designs, tight timelines, high data quality expectations, and increased regulatory scrutiny. Sites still relying on paper or disconnected systems often struggle with inefficiencies that impact recruitment, protocol compliance, and billing accuracy. Unlike other platforms, Trial360 integrates all critical modules (CTMS, eSource, CRM, finance) into… Continue reading How Early-Phase Sites Are Streamlining Operations with eSource & Protocol Workflows
On April 22nd, we celebrated Earth Day, which calls for action, environmental awareness, and the transformation of our habits. But beyond the symbolic messages, this date also leaves us with a key question: What are we doing in our industry to reduce our environmental impact? Clinical research faces a silent but profound challenge: dependence on… Continue reading After Earth Day: What are we doing for a more sustainable future in clinical research?
