IQVIA Launches Digital Tool to Streamline Clinical Trial Workflows

Global contract research organization IQVIA has unveiled a new digital solution aimed at simplifying workflows for clinical trial investigators. The announcement, made on March 4, 2025, introduces a suite of digital applications designed to enhance efficiency and reduce errors in clinical research processes.

e-Requisition: Revolutionizing Lab Test Management

At the heart of IQVIA's new offering is e-Requisition, an electronic tool for ordering lab tests and managing specimens. This innovative application is part of the broader Site Lab Navigator solution suite, which aims to eliminate the need for manual paper forms, thereby reducing errors and improving regulatory compliance.

e-Requisition offers a range of features to streamline clinical trial operations:

• Real-time tracking of shipped samples
• Ordering of lab equipment
• Data validation capabilities
• Guidance on data entry and sample collection

David Morris, IQVIA's chief operating officer, emphasized the significance of the new tool, stating, "Site Lab Navigator and its differentiated e-Requisition solution will significantly reduce administrative burden on sites and improve the quality and execution of clinical trials for our customers."

Integration with One Home Portal

The Site Lab Navigator, including e-Requisition, will integrate seamlessly with IQVIA's One Home software portal. Launched in June 2024, One Home serves as a centralized dashboard for site investigators, consolidating various software systems into a single, user-friendly interface.

This integration represents a continued effort by IQVIA to streamline and simplify the complex technological landscape of clinical trials, providing investigators with a more cohesive and efficient working environment.

Industry Reception and Adoption

Early response to IQVIA's new digital tools has been overwhelmingly positive. According to Morris, "The early response has been extremely positive, with a number of sponsors already signed on including several top 10 pharmaceutical companies."

This rapid adoption by major players in the pharmaceutical industry underscores the pressing need for digital solutions that can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of clinical trial processes. As the industry continues to evolve, tools like e-Requisition and Site Lab Navigator are poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of clinical research.
