We just caught up on this Dec 4 webinar featuring Scottie Kern (C-Path), Cindy Howry (Medable), Christian Knaus (Evinova), Jonathan Norman (YPrime) and Shelly Steele (WCG Clinical). It's a fantastic hour-long discussion on the pros and cons of eCOA libraries and whether 'we as an industry are deriving the true dividend that eCOA libraries claim to deliver'. Well worth a watch. Translation comes up many times in terms of its part in the life of an eCOA instrument, the timings to launch, the complexities of version control, permissions and the many many interdependencies in project management.

Wishing you all the merriest of holidays! ✨ Cheers, one and all! Helen The Word Desk
