OnCore Reviews

I liked that you can customize roles in the staff list, instead of just using preset defaults. The branching for task management, process tracking, and notifying the next signatory authority when it is time for them to completed their part is all very easy to navigate, saves a lot of effort in remembering to notify the next person to move things along.

I do not like that you cannot hide fields that are not of use to a particular study or research team. I think that there is a lot of room for improvement when it comes to the display logic and navigating through the pages could be made more consumer-intuitive.

Although I don't know much about the purchasing side of the equation, I do know that from the perspective of someone who had to use the platform daily, my number one piece of advice is to really utilize any training, including supplemental training that your organization offers. It's a fairly dynamic platform, but in order to help it help you, you've got to know all of the capabilities and how to navigate them for your specific role.

Although I no longer use OnCore in my current role, the organization I work for has continued to use it and expand its availability to other departments. It has helped streamline the process of protocol activation and also allows for excellent checks and balances between different stages of protocol activation, study submission, and client management.

I was introduced to OnCore as a new research coordinator and I do not know how I would have completed the work I needed to do without this software. Between the billing mechanisms, calendaring, and electronic care report forms, OnCore helped me keep organized and on track.

Forte really has not made this software flexible for non-cancer center use, which I think is pretty short sighted. There are a handful of aspects in OnCore that I have to, as a non-cancer center coordinator, just have to ignore. Also, OnCore is visually not very appealing - although I have heard this is going to change in the next major update.

Put in the time to learn the software because it really will save you time in the long run and I think clinical trial management systems are where the industry is going.

OnCore has helped me keep develop and conduct a clinical trial. Being able to have subject information, calendars, and electronic case report forms in one place has been immensely helpful.

That patients on clinical trials calendar's can easily be viewed and manipulated if need be.

Without the correct permission, you cannot make the necessary changes to a study.

To allow administrators to make more changes to the program without having to pay more money.

Preventing study coordinators from having to do double entry; typing participant information into both PowerTrials and OnCore.

The ability to favorite tabs. The layout of the PC console, i can easily set up and edit study data.

On the Documents page it was a bit difficult to see where to upload instructions and how exactly to link to Irb docs from this interface ( using the link option)

I use it for coordinating clinical trial protocols
