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.

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.

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!
