Insights from the 2024 Veeva R&D Summit
Last week the Just in Time GCP team attended the Veeva R&D Summit in Boston where we proudly served as a Gold Sponsor. Veeva Summit was an exciting experience which provided an opportunity for attendees to engage with Veeva experts, partners, and users. It also offered a glimpse into the future of Veeva’s innovations and the evolving landscape of clinical operations.
A recurring theme of this year’s summit was to ‘Simplify and Standardize’. Veeva leaders shared their vision of how we can achieve this:
- Seamless Site Engagement: Foster and improve collaboration between sponsors and sites by providing efficient and simplified ways to communicate and collaborate.
- A Connected & High-Quality Platform: Leverage the Veeva Clinical Suite to create a seamless flow of data across platforms via their ‘connector’ features. Furthermore, functionalities within Veeva should be streamlined and simplified to reduce complexity and improve user experience.
- Standard & ‘Clean’ Data: Ensure data accuracy and integrity by providing a single source of truth within the Vault platform to support better decision-making.
In addition, throughout Summit, Veeva clients hosted sessions to share their success stories and insights on utilizing the Veeva Vault suite. These sessions highlighted their evolution as an organization by implementing Veeva, the benefits of a unified and standardized platform, and how it drives operational excellence in clinical trials.
What features are next for Veeva Clinical?
Veeva gave us a sneak peek into their roadmap on features set to be released later this year and in early 2025. Here are a few feature highlights to look forward to:
- Subartifacts: One of the most exciting new features announced this year – subartifacts will provide another layer of specificity within your document types that will help better organize documents, and simplify the process of EDL management.
- Document Deletion Log: Veeva will soon implement a log for tracking ‘hard’ deleted documents. This log will maintain a record of deleted documents along with reasons for their removal and additional comments, providing greater visibility and oversight.
- Study Audit Export: This new capability will allow users to export the full study audit trails of TMF documents in CSV format, helping to simplify review of audit trails.
- Self Evident Corrections (SEC): For users that perform SECs during QC reviews, Veeva will automatically detect and create Quality Issue records in the backend. This feature will help track SECs, provide insight into the types of changes made, and identify key trends.
- TMF Quality Review: Veeva will introduce a framework for conducting TMF quality reviews. This addition will allow users to define the scope of what TMF content will be reviewed and the timeframe of reviews (quarterly, semi-annually, etc.) enhancing completeness tracking and overall quality management.
Just in Time GCP is excited to continue our partnership with Veeva, and utilize what we learned at Summit to support our clients in future business and technology, and/or TMF services initiatives.
