Attention Is All You Need: The Biggest Bottleneck in Clinical Research Is Coordinator's Attention! Ep. 1093

Dan Sfera breaks down why a study coordinator's time and attention are among the most limited resources in clinical research. From keeping investigators on track to managing queries, vendor portals, training logs, and lab shipments, coordinators handle work that rarely fits neatly into a job description. Dan explains why more dashboards and electronic signatures do not automatically remove the bottlenecks, where automation can genuinely save time, and how rising study complexity can quickly absorb those gains. He also shares his perspective on small sites versus large site networks, the value of physicians who treat their own patients, and why stronger CRA relationships and training more coordinators matter.
