System | ERMS
eClinical tool to digitally submit studies and to let it be reviewed by Medical Ethics Review Committees.
Developed for researchers and members of Medical Ethics Review Committees (MERCs).
ERMS is, together with the eClinical tools EDC & CTMS, part of the ResearchManager research platform.

Workflow Management
- With ERMS the processes concerning the reviewing and managing of study requests will be designed and digitalized according to your own workflow. Roles such as researcher and MERC committee member can quickly and effectively perform the necessary actions per step heading to an approval within one environment.
- Generate multiple processes. This way an distinction can be easily made between reviewing (Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act) study requests, amendments, and progress reports.
- With Role Based Access Control different roles and rights can be set up.
Contract & Document Management
- Let research protocols be easily and digitally reviewed by committee members of MERCs.
- With Contract & Document Management research protocols, amendments, and progress reports can be safely signed and locked.
- Save time and let letters be electronically generated and validated.
Communication Management
- Through online meetings there can easily be communicated with applicants, head researchers, and MERC committee members.
- Link the ERMS tool with the CTMS tool and bring the researchers up to date about the status of the requests by using push notifications.
Dashboards & Analytics
- MERC committee members quickly get insight in all statuses of running studies through study dashboards.
- Through Management Dashboards all the information needed for inspections and year reports are directly available.
- Export all study related data to Excel (.cvs, xls), or other desired file types.
Application Programming Interface (API)
- Let the ERMS tool easily communicate with a CTMS environment to share all relevant data. This allows researchers to efficiently send the entire study protocol to the committee members of a MERC and to let it be reviewed.
- Link with SURFcontext and Single sign-on (SSO). Then exchange the information with systems from third parties by using an API.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
- Audit Trail
- Validation on field level
- Smart Safety Reporting
- Role Based Access Control
