Redefining Readiness: How Remote Pharmacy Monitoring Strengthens Compliance and Streamlines Clinical Trial Operations
Explore how leading IDS pharmacies are improving accuracy, reducing site burden, and accelerating trial timelines through remote monitoring workflows and digital accountability systems.
Overview
Monitoring visits are essential to maintaining compliance, ensuring accurate drug accountability, and safeguarding investigational product integrity across clinical trials. Yet traditional, fully on-site reviews place a heavy burden on IDS teams, demanding extensive coordination, manual documentation, and hours of physical verification.
As clinical trials grow more complex and remote-first operations become the norm, research pharmacies need modern tools and digital oversight models that maintain audit readiness without overwhelming staff or delaying trial progress.
This white paper explores the shift toward remote and hybrid monitoring models and outlines how IDS teams can adopt digital-first practices to optimize workflows, enhance data accuracy, and reduce operational strain.
This White Paper Covers:
- The evolution of monitoring practices and why remote oversight is now the industry standard
- How eSource and electronic drug accountability systems (eDAR) improve real-time visibility and reduce monitoring delays
- Regulatory expectations for digital oversight, risk-based monitoring, and hybrid visit models
- How remote monitoring strengthens audit readiness through standardized workflows and integrated audit trails
- Practical SOP recommendations for scheduling, documentation access, temperature logs, drug returns, and destruction workflows
Why Remote Monitoring Matters for IDS Pharmacies
With nearly 72% of monitor visits now completed remotely, leading research sites are leveraging digital documentation, remote access tools, and structured workflows to:
- Reduce site disruption and staff burden
- Improve monitoring efficiency and accuracy
- Streamline reconciliation and documentation workflows
- Maintain continuous oversight across all protocols
- Prepare for audits without last-minute scrambling
