Vestigo, investigational drug service (IDS) software from the McCreadie Group, eliminates many of the manual steps involved in IDS operations. The Web-based service adds accuracy and efficiencies to protocol management, inventory control, dispensing and labeling, billing accountability reporting, monitor activities, and scheduling. It also facilitates compliance to the principles and best practices of IDS, including the Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA) Best Practice Standards, which apply to any clinical research involving medications. HOPA recommends the use of computer software for investigational medication management.
