What's a program in Honey?

Modified on Thu, 7 Aug at 1:25 AM

A program in Honey is a way to group and manage multiple, related studies or cohorts under one unified structure.


Programs are most often used when you have:

  • Multiple cohorts within a single protocol
  • Separate studies within the same indication or therapeutic area
  • Adaptive, umbrella, or platform trials
  • A need to present a single entry point to candidates while managing study assignment behind the scenes


Each program shares common elements (like a landing page, candidate flow rules, and reporting) while allowing each study or cohort to maintain its own configuration, eligibility, and site list.

TABLE OF CONTENTS


For Sponsors & CROs

Programs are designed to improve operational efficiency, analytics visibility, and candidate retention across multiple studies or subgroups.


Key benefits

  • One landing page for all recruitment efforts within the program
  • Cross-study analytics through the Program Insights tab
  • Candidate retention: Candidates not eligible for one cohort can be evaluated for another
  • Fewer lost referrals: Improve ROI on every candidate
  • Site standardization: Sites working across cohorts can use one login
  • Adaptive flexibility: Add or pause studies without changing the overall recruitment path


Use cases

  • Running multiple phase II/III studies for the same condition
  • Regional or country-based cohorts
  • Stratified cohorts based on mutation, severity, or biomarker


In practice

  • Each study in the program can have different inclusion/exclusion criteria and study-specific pre-screeners
  • Referral flow logic can be configured to prioritize certain studies

For Sites

Site users may work across multiple studies or cohorts within the same program, without needing to change how they log in or manage referrals.


Key benefits

  • Single login to access referrals from all cohorts/studies assigned to your site
  • Easier onboarding if your site works on program studies
  • Clear visibility into which study or cohort each referral is for


What to expect

  • Referrals appear within the relevant study
  • The referral process (view → contact → update) remains the same regardless of which study the referral belongs to

Site users do not determine which study a candidate is assigned to, this is handled automatically by the program logic or by Trialbee’s phone assessment team.


For Phone Assessment Users

Phone assessors are a key part of candidate flow in program structures, especially when a candidate may qualify for more than one cohort or study.


Key benefits

  • See all eligible program studies available for a candidate
  • Use a unified script flow while tailoring screening questions per study
  • Assign candidates to the best-fit study/cohort based on eligibility and site availability
  • Reduce candidate drop-off by offering alternate studies within the same interaction


What to expect

  • The Honey platform may auto-recommend or prioritize a specific study, or allow manual assignment based on available options
  • After referral, phone team activity is logged just like with single-study flow
