Study Manager
What is Study Manager?
Study Manager is a Windows-based, web-enabled clinical trial
management system created for research professionals, coordinators, and
physicians who need to closely monitor all phases of their clinical trials.
Since Study Manager runs over the Web, it can be securely
accessed from any computer with an Internet connection.
According to Advanced Clinical
Software (ACS, developers of Study Manager), more hospitals
and universities have chosen Study Manager than any other
clinical trial management system because of its ability to reduce the cost
of clinical trials and make research more efficient, more productive, more
profitable, less error-prone, and more enjoyable for research
administrators, coordinators, physicians, and other staff members.
Whether you're part of a
single department or a centralized office that wants to manage clinical
trials across multiple departments, Study Manager gives you a
