Was ist EDGE?
Das EDGE-System, das von der Clinical Informatics Research Unit an der Universität von Southampton entwickelt wurde, ist bereits in 80 % des NHS in Großbritannien eingebunden und wird immer mehr im Bereich Managementsysteme für klinische Studien eingesetzt. EDGE bietet Nutzern einen schnellen Zugriff auf Echtzeitdaten und vollständige Studienüberwachung von Anfang bis Ende.

Clinical Research Management Made Easy
Kommentare: I have used EDGE daily for almost 5 years and it has made my job much easier. It enables us to easily record information about the projects reviewed by our Research and Development team and track the journey of a clinical studies in a clear interface. It was my job to teach our local users how to use EDGE and the its customisable features made it simpler to explain it. The list of cons are really just suggestions on how EDGE could improve in my opinion, not really things I dislike about it. In fact, colleagues who know me well can attest to the fact that I'm pretty effusive about it and could talk about EDGE for hours!
Vorteile:
- User friendly interface - Very customisable (we can add our own fields to suit our needs) - Easy to retrieve information and create bespoke reports - Assigning people to projects is simple and efficient - Enables efficient collaboration between teams and organisations involved in research - A good document storage alternative - A fantastic team behind and responsive support
Nachteile:
- More features should be customisable (such as the 'Add a Patient' form) - Mass updating fields would have a been a time-saving feature - More options for account types (e.g. to differentiate between admins and users who need overall 'manager' access, but who should not be able to customise fields)

Hello, thank you for leaving us a review and for sharing your pro's and improvements for the system, and especially for highlighting such great benefits of the EDGE programme. Nice to hear you are also a big EDGE fan :)
EDGE - Much more than a research database
Kommentare: EDGE can create and support service change to help improve health research. It encourages innovation and collaboration amongst the research community and its development is very much driven by the users. It is very adaptable and easy to use.
Vorteile:
The system allows the admin-site to design the way the site uses the software. Each Research project is displayed with the same information however the site specific page can be tailor made to collect additional information about the project and has options to create a workflow to evidence a procedure or process. The system is much more than a research database where recruitment data is entered. EDGE adopts standard methodologies and processes for reporting and collecting business intelligence. It can be used for in-depth quality assurance checks, financial oversight as well as clinical oversight.
Nachteile:
The implementation of EDGE was made easy by the how adaptable the system is. Workflows have mostly replaced our forms and the electronic pathways have improved our performance as the tasks are completed in a timely fashion. There are some areas where we would prefer tailor-made restricted access. Sites have the ability to create a research project page and for Sponsors this is an advantage as the quality checks that occur from sponsorship application through to submission can be captured. The downside is that the research project is also entered onto the system by the national team which causes duplicate entries. This is a hindrance for sites that want to use EDGE for more than just a performance tool

Hi Kate, thank you for leaving us a review and for highlighting the way EDGE can be adapted to every organisation. We are glad the system works well for you and your trust.
Easy to access system with adaptable functionality
Kommentare: EDGE is a good company who we have had positive interactions with. When escalation is required to EDGE they are quick to get back to you and offer support via regional contacts if required. It is a very effective research management system.
Vorteile:
The system is user-friendly and can allow training to be rolled out with minimal support. There is functionality to use adapt the system within the limits of the programme to be bespoke for your organisation. Allows collaboration, and visibility of data to a wide audience and it is particularly useful to be able to gain access from a web-browser for home working. It has been essential for our switch to home-working during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nachteile:
Creating reports being limited to admin users is not very user friendly due to time constraints for the admin staff. We do not use EDGE for our reporting purposes for that reason, however the ability to create reports for staff to use does get around this slightly.

Hi Alessia, thanks for your review. Glad to hear EDGE is working well at your organisation and is helping with the COVID-19 situation currently happening. We are looking into the possibility of other access levels for V3 e.g. reporting access as we do understand it would be useful for sites who need more reporters but do not want to give users full admin rights. Thanks.
EDGE is adaptable to your needs
Kommentare:
I could not be as efficient or as effective in my job without EDGE. It holds all the information personnel need to know about a trial and it is accessible to all those that need it.
I can run reports from EGDE that are built for our needs at service level, it gives us oversight of our trials.
Vorteile:
Accessible anywhere, flexible, adaptable to your service, give researcher autonomy in how they run their trials. I love the workflows as I can track processes, add in details so I know exactly where we are at. EDGE is also allowing us to move more from paper to electronic for documenting training and delegation logs, which makes it quicker to sign up personnel to work on trials.
Nachteile:
I do not see any cons of using EDGE. For some it is another system they have to log into, which may be a down side, but for me it is an essential system. It would be great if systems could talk to each other more.

Hi Vicky, thank you so much for your review and for your positive words. We are glad EDGE is so beneficial to you and your organisation. Working with other systems is something we are working on, thank you for your feedback.
Integrated System for Governance and Reporting
Kommentare: Our experience with Edge is excellent. We can produce timely reports on all aspects of study set-up and management. Particularly helpful with DoH reporting for PII and PID. The system is flexible and enables fully integrated governance and oversight. We have extended the system for the studies for which we act as Sponsor and continue to customise the system. We receive excellent support from the Southampton Team.
Vorteile:
The system is accessible, easy to use and easy to customise according to our needs. We use Edge as a fully integrated governance system for studies for which we act as Sponsor and also as a participating research site. The system is used for basic recruitment information. We customised it to report and store information on all aspects of study set-up, end to end from site selection to contract and then for amendments. The Research Management and Governance Team are the main users but we have extended use to the Research Practitioners and Data Managers for study documents and information that is version controlled and in date. All research facing staff involved in study set-up use Edge as part of the process to review capacity and capability. We have plans to extend to clinicians acting as Chief and Principal Investigators. We extended the system for all aspects of Sponsorship, as part of site oversight and management. We also use Edge as part of ECMC reporting and as our Document Control system.
Nachteile:
We would like to see a simple way to work on finances and costing templates.
