This is captured in the form of Entities or Workflows All the information you input can be made public or private depending on who you wish to view this data All the information can be reported on and easily exported to other programs such as Excel. This data can then be fed in to visualisation tools to allow quick and easy access to data that is easy to understand. The search facility used to create reports can save search criteria so continuous reports can be saved and run with ease daily/weekly/monthly. (would be great if this report could be scheduled to run automatically maybe in the next iteration of EDGE) Allows for standardisation of process through workflows and this can help standardise process trust wide or even further reaching. We have used this to help standardise particular processes across the region Can be used as document storage for clinical trials There is a global library available to anyone with EDGE access and this can be used to upload / download workflows and entities. Anything available here can be downloaded and tailored to suit the needs of the individual. This is a great idea and brings to the forefront the ideology of one NHS promoting best practice through sharing best practice. Support team are absolutely great > > **Cons**: No drag and drop option available for documents When adding workflows and entities greater customisation would be great e.g editing entity and workflow titles when adding to allow more than one of the same group of attributes to be added > > EDGE is an easy to use system can be used to house all your data. I use it more and more each day and find more and more uses for EDGE within our department. Great system and would recommend it as a data management system for research teams. ----- ### "EDGE - Much more than a research database" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *29 June 2020* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: 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 > > 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. ----- ### "Edge" — 4.0/5 > **Anthony** | *10 August 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Generally everything is quite customizable - this is good so we can record a lot of local information. > > **Cons**: Traceability and auditability needs a lot of work to be more usable - the level of interpretation required is quite high, its not really suitable for an NHS system to be so hard to track what people are looking at. Also edge could provide training videos or leaflets for us to talk new staff through rather than us localizing something 100 times over. The finance and workflow areas need to be more customizable like the attribute systems are. There should be ways of "deactivating" everything from any list of options without deleting, as the more data you add the messier the system gets if you cant limit the options at certain times or with certain studies. > > Overall experience of edge is positive ----- ### "Innovation Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Pia** | *14 August 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is able to be individualised to an organisations needs. How much an organisation gets out of it is limited only by the limits of the organisation's imagination and its willingness to experiment. Information is available instantly. Reports can be generated to meet a whole range of stakeholder needs. > > **Cons**: It has some limitations in being able to generate reports that combine patient data with study set up data. We have managed to find a workaround to this which suits our needs, but it would be nice to see in future versions a way to run a report that combined project attributes with patient attributes to be able to query the data in different ways. There are limitations with using it as a financial management tool for trials and it would be good to see in future versions a way to upload information direct from the contract and to be able to generate invoices in this way. This would definitely be on my EDGE wish list\! > > I have used EDGE for 6+ years and am constantly finding new ways to use EDGE\! Reports are run to manage our trial set up and amendment processes so we can keep track of where a study is in the pipeline and what tasks are needed next. We are able to prioritise studies in set up to ensure those that are most important to open get managed through the process first. We manage all patient activity through EDGE to not only review accrual but also to identify patient activity which can be billed. We use it to measure performance within each team comparing activity from one time period to another. We use it to check the quality of our data to ensure that we are not duplicating patients or inputting incorrect information relating to patients into the system. ----- ### "EDGE - The Research Management Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Carolyn** | *14 August 2019* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EDGE is NOT a Database. It is a very powerful tool limited only by your imagination or drive. EDGE allows us to know in real time exactly where we are with each study active within the organization. From Expression of Interest right the way through to Closedown and confirmation that a publication has been submitted. Every process for confirming capacity and capability across the organization including within Support Departments and other Governance aspects have access to EDGE. We are able to confirm that processes have been followed in accordance with our extensive range of SOPs by following our bespoke workflows. Study C\&C can be followed through from beginning to end. Everyone can see where things are and take appropriate action. Stops multiple duplicate phone calls. I could wax lyrical about EDGE all day if you were to allow me to do so. Research Management has never been so easy\! Transparent and complete\! It also helps to know that if my addled brain forgets a process step, EDGE will remind me to do it because I've built it that way\! It takes the intuition, guesswork and assumption out and replaces it with confirmation of process and positive progression. > > **Cons**: Some of the functionality is long winded but there are upgrades in the pipeline. Drag and drop, adding investigators, adding more than one Attribute / workflow at a time. > > Very positive. The team are great\! Know their stuff and are open to suggestions / ideas. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047603/edge?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2047603/edge) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
