Decentralized Clinical Trials Data Flow Maps
Data integrity and data quality are key pillars of clinical research. The ACRO DCT Data Flow Maps are designed to build confidence and trust in decentralized clinical trials by providing transparency and visibility into data flow, data controls, and data traceability within a DCT to illustrate how a decentralized model guards data quality and integrity.
