COVID-19大流行对临床试验行业提出了非凡的挑战。与各种地方和国家缓解工作相结合的距离措施不仅影响了患者和提供者的互动，而且还影响了赞助商和网站之间的沟通。站点处于前所未有的通量状态，了解情况，保护患者和提供者的压力，并确定如何确保连续性启动。现在，赞助商和网站之间的强大沟通渠道比以往任何时候都重要。
在这种环境下，我们研究人员网站门户网站的社区建设网站参与模块被证明至关重要。
Why Site Engagement?
网站参与工具之所以受欢迎，是因为它们提供了可行的信息，以在正常的试验过程中通过激活，学习任务和数据查询解决方案保持站点的步伐。同样重要的是，它们为网站创建了一个可信赖的新闻和信息来源。调查员的人员和面向现场的员工习惯于寻找和依靠有用的公告，因为他们使用学习门户来在审判中扮演角色。
What happens in a crisis?
Having a strong channel of communication established before a crisis hits can make a huge difference in a sponsor’s response. During an urgent or quickly evolving situation, sites need to trust that the information they are receiving is reliable and authoritative. With Site Engagement tools inside a study portal, that trust is already thoroughly established, and site personnel know exactly where to go to get real-time updates directly from the sponsor. Communicating regularly with sites, specifically during a time of crisis, allows both sponsors and sites to deal with the current situation while setting up the trial for success in the future.
Site Engagement during COVID-19
目前，赞助商正在使用IQVIA站点门户中的网站参与工具来为网站提供近乎实时的更新。仅在3月，就在220项研究中发送了近1450个研究通讯。随着站点和试验的地位，每天都在迅速变化，这种沟通和获取可靠信息的级别已被证明至关重要。
尽管流行病的急性性质处于行动和连续性计划的最前沿，但思想很快需要转向这些研究将如何在生活恢复正常时再次开始。IQVIA调查员网站门户网站即使研究闲置，也可以使网站更新和参与。因此，当需要再次启动时，站点可以撞到地面运行。
希望未来
Creating a sense of community is a key reason that sponsors use Site Engagement for their studies; and during a crisis, this community is of utmost importance. Sponsors are showing leadership, keeping morale high, and instilling hope that while the situation is serious at the current moment, it will not last forever.
