Ethical integrates Smart Redaction Technology to eAdjudication® Software for Clinical Endpoint Adjudication
Redaction technology improves the functionality of the eAdjudication® software platform by allowing to selectively hide information on source and administrative documents.
BASEL, Switzerland, June 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ethical GmbH, the Swiss company providing eClinical Software Services with a special focus on Clinical Endpoint Adjudication, integrates Accusoft's PrizmDoc Viewer redaction capacity to its eAdjudication® software platform to allow online anonymization and annotation of documents uploaded by investigational sites.
Source documents needed for the adjudication of clinical endpoints such as patient charts, physician's notes or procedure reports often contain personal identifiers and other confidential information that needs to be deleted or hidden to preserve the anonymity of the subjects. In addition, adjudicators must be blinded to other information such as site number, country or investigator's name to ensure unbiased and impartial assessment of the cases.
In the framework of endpoint adjudication, site personnel anonymize source documents and reports while hiding study information is the responsibility of the sponsor's central staff. In both cases, redaction of documents generates a heavy administrative burden.
Ethical's eAdjudication®, the leading electronic endpoint adjudication platform, now has a new feature that allows authorized users to easily and quickly redact documents online as necessary ensuring efficacy and compliance.
Ethical eAdjudication integrated Accusoft's PrizmDoc Viewer into their application so their users can view documents, collaborate on them, and redact sensitive information. Its robust backend functionalities like secure redaction and commenting enable Ethical eAdjudication to provide important new functionality to its users. PrizmDoc Viewer comes with a redaction API that securely removes any trace of deleted content from the final document using burned-in redaction technology. In addition, its annotation API enables users to comment and markup documents with ease.
