Navigating device trial protocols in 2024

I’ve been digging into upcoming changes in device trial protocols for this year, and it’s clear that we need to adapt fast. We’re using new software for data collection that promises to streamline the review process, but I’m wondering how others are preparing for these shifts. Any insights?

But i hear you on the need to adapt quickly, especially with new software rolling out. When we introduced our changes last year, we found that conducting small training sessions upfront helped ease the transition and reduced review hiccups. Have you considered some hands-on practice with the software before full deployment?

Absolutely agree on the need for hands-on practice with the software! When we faced similar changes, setting up a mock trial run helped us identify hiccups early. Have you thought about organizing a small training day for your team?

I found it helpful to create user guides that walk through specific tasks in the new software — this made onboarding smoother for everyone. Have you thought about involving team members in drafting these materials? @emmthom.
