Using IT to speed up clinical trials

We can find that the use of IT is everywhere its not possible to escape it , How it could be effective in solving the health and clinical problems using Information Technology's help in the clinical processes

• The first wave of IT innovations to streamline the clinical-trials process used electronic-data capture to speed up the collection and analysis of information.
• The second wave promises even greater savings if pharmaceutical companies adopt an end-to-end perspective by integrating the planning process for a number of trials and by creating modular, reusable tools to plan them.

Pharmaceutical companies should also make electronic-data capture easier for research physicians to use, perhaps by creating an industry standard.

What are your opinions about this : i.e. Use of IT in fastening the process of Clinical Trials?
