Overview

 

A leading Clinical Research Coordination Center (CRCC) in Austria, supporting four medical centers and clinics, partnered with DragOnFlow to address one of the most critical bottlenecks in clinical trials: patient screening, selection, and enrollment.

 

The Challenge

 

Patient screening is a complex and time-intensive process, requiring careful evaluation of eligibility criteria. This challenge is amplified in rare diseases such as myelofibrosis, where protocols are highly detailed and require significant expertise and precision.

 

Traditionally, screening involved extensive manual cross-referencing across multiple documents—leading to inefficiencies, delays, and increased risk of errors. Each screening could take up to 40 minutes, limiting throughput and slowing down trial progress.

 

The Solution

 

CRCC implemented DragOnFlow’s protocol execution platform within their screening workflow. The platform transforms static protocols into interactive, step-by-step digital guides that:

 

• Automate protocol adherence

• Guide users in real time based on patient data

• Eliminate the need for manual cross-referencing

• Integrate seamlessly into existing workflows
   

The Results

 

Following implementation, CRCC conducted a direct comparison between traditional screening methods and DragOnFlow-enabled screening.

The impact was immediate and measurable:

 

• 77% reduction in screening time (from 40 minutes to 9 minutes)

• Improved accuracy through automated protocol adherence

• Real-time decision support based on patient-specific data

• Streamlined workflows with no need for multiple document checks
   

Impact

 

What was once a major operational bottleneck became a fast, efficient, and scalable process. CRCC was able to:

 

Screen significantly more patients in less time

Reduce resource utilization

Lower operational costs across trial stages

Accelerate study timelines

 

By replacing manual processes with guided digital execution, DragOnFlow enabled CRCC to improve both efficiency and quality—two critical factors in modern clinical research.

 

As clinical trials continue to grow in complexity, innovative execution platforms like DragOnFlow are essential to removing bottlenecks, improving accuracy, and accelerating the delivery of life-saving treatments to patients.
