Teams that still manage randomization and inventory using paper documents or separate systems are at greater risk of errors and study delays due to a lack of synchronization and manual processing. ResearchManager RTSM addresses this by integrating both processes into a single controlled workflow. As soon as a participant is assigned a treatment, this is automatically updated in both the participant and inventory overviews. This ensures that assignments and study materials are always in sync.

An uneven or incorrect distribution of patients across treatment groups jeopardizes the data and study planning. ResearchManager RTSM supports multiple validated randomization methods that comply with current guidelines, allowing you to proceed to the next phase with confidence.

• Standard randomization, site-based randomization, and block randomization.
• Randomization based on stratification factors.

Shortages of medication or medical supplies can bring a study to a halt, while surpluses lead to unnecessary costs. The supply management component of RTSM continuously monitors treatment types, inventory levels, expiration dates, and shipments to ensure optimal management. Automatic alerts for impending shortages or surpluses help prevent study interruptions and keep costs under control.
