EDC workflow is superior to traditional paper-based data management systems. In the paper-based model, the time from LPLV to locked database is on average 6-7 weeks. This is due to the fact that DM personnel have to wait for CRA's to monitor sites and receive the last large bolus of data. That data needs to be entered, cleaned and DCFs need to be generated and sent to the sites for resolution.
