“Day in the Life” of Clinical QA in Clinical Trials

The pillars of quality in clinical research centers are data integrity and human subject protection. Clinical Quality Assurance serves both as the typical auditor and independent role, but also as the compliance advisor and partner to the clinical team. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations have no requirement for a QA department which makes the role of CQA a more flexible one.

In this presentation, we will explore the role of the Clinical QA professional in ensuring that all activities are done to ensure the data integrity of the trial data and the rights, welfare, and safety of trial participants.

Overcoming Obstacles to People-Centered Leadership

Have you ever underestimated your influence on others? Do you fail to recognize the impact you have on people, their work, and their ability to solve problems and thrive?

Whether you hold a formal leadership position or not, you have the power to affect those around you. However, the way you think, speak, and act may not always bring out the best in yourself or those you interact with. This can lead to missed opportunities, strained relationships, and less than ideal outcomes.

This 1-hour webinar will demonstrate what can get in the way and help participants
identify new ways of operating for better success.

Is it possible to self-document any policy or procedure using generative AI? 

Sometimes, the hardest part is documenting policies and procedures. In this presentation – we will cover how we’ve implemented the latest innovations in generative AI to help anyone document any policy or procedure.

In addition – we’ll cover controlling such assets, measuring engagement to see which ones are more popular (which is unknown today) to prove ROI from documentation efforts, and how “crowdsourced” feedback would work to improve a process from feedback in the field. Towards the end – we’ll also cover techniques to ease change management for actually executing and tracking processes in real-time, as opposed to just publishing processes and hoping somebody looks at them!

Turning Soft / “Light Green” Savings into Hard / “Dark Green” Dollars:The Unspoken Need for Labor Optimization

While improvement projects can have significant financial savings, there’s a tendency in service organizations to concentrate on projects that save time. Time savings are then converted to soft or “light green” dollars.
For example, improving a process saves x hours, multiplied by an hourly wage, equals x financial savings. In reality, labor expense has not decreased. If there is a finite amount of work to be done, revenue has not increased. And executive leadership may be dissatisfied. What’s missing?
