What if Clinical Trials Required ZERO Data Entry?

Clinical trial data is being entered, and reentered. And it’s burning out the people we depend on most. Join us in being part of the solution.

Across the world, doctors, nurses, and clinical research coordinators are facing rising levels of administrative overload.

One of the least discussed contributors inside clinical trials is surprisingly simple:

Manual data transcription. 

Here’s what happens at many research sites every day:

1. Patient data is documented in the hospital Electronic Health Record (EHR)
2. A study coordinator reviews the chart
3. The same information is typed again into an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system

Many clinical research sites report spending 15–25 hours per week on EDC data entry alone.

That’s highly trained clinical staff doing work that modern technology should be doing automatically.

Now imagine eliminating that step entirely.

At Simplified Clinical Data Systems, we call this idea:

Zero Data Entry (ZDE)TM

The concept is simple:

→ Clinical data captured once at the point of care
→ Automatically available for clinical research

Using modern interoperability standards and automated data pipelines, clinical trial data can flow directly from healthcare systems into research platforms—without manual transcription.

Early implementations of automated EHR-to-research workflows have demonstrated hundreds of hours saved at a single site during a study.

Scale that across global trials and the impact becomes enormous.

Let’s be part of the solution.
