While modern hybrid decentralized clinical trial (DCT) models bring research closer to Canadian patients, site-level adoption frequently lags due to fragmented digital workflows, operational complexities, and shifting Health Canada regulatory expectations. This session demonstrates how cross-functional teams in academia and industry can unify clinical operations and regulatory strategy by transitioning into synchronized digital ecosystems. Participants will analyze practical methods to deploy strategic partnerships with specialty nursing or pharmacy networks and implement digital tools that securely manage remote medication delivery across varying institutional privacy rules. Ultimately, attendees will walk away with a scalable framework to design patient-focused trials that ensure continuous compliance, reduce site burden, and maintain constant inspection readiness.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to: - Design hybrid trial protocols that integrate innovative trends and elements such as home nursing and local pharmacy networks.
- Formulate operational workflows that integrate digital infrastructure with Health Canada expectations.
- Explore site-level operations to proactively mitigate institutional privacy and compliance risks
