All of these become essential documents as they demonstrate the compliance of the monitor and, thus, the sponsor in the conduct of the clinical trial. These are all eligible for inspection by the regulatory authorities at any time both during and after the study is completed and submitted for product approval. This is the same regulation for drugs, biologics, and devices. Effective writing skills are, therefore, extremely important so that we show the diligence and detail involved in effective monitoring. Increasingly, we notice that the Confirmation Letters, Monitoring Visit Reports, and Follow-Up Letters have discrepancies. This may be simple date inconsistencies, or critical data credibility issues. It is important that the monitor be aware of the importance of these issues in the review of study documentation. This module will provide some practical solutions to addressing document deficiencies as well as provide a practical understanding of how these documents provide evidence for the regulated activities of the investigator and the sponsor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Abstract\"\u003eThe monitor visit starts with a well-written Confirmation Letter informing the investigator and investigator’s staff of the expectations of the upcoming visit. An accurate and complete Monitoring Visit Report details all of the activities of the monitor in meeting the sponsor’s obligation during the actual monitor visit, including action items and demonstrable management of the site by the monitor. Queries must be well-written if they are to be understood by the study coordinator or Principal Investigator at the site. The Follow-Up Letter, which must detail the progress made on this visit and highlight any deficiencies for which the monitor expects resolution must agree with the action items listed in the Monitoring Visit Report. Written documentation of Telephone Contacts must be direct, accurate, and timely; other communications between monitor visits need to be associated with the proper events as well. This module will provide an understanding of the information required, importance of timely and well-documented discussions, and proper methods of filing this key documentation. This workshop is invaluable for the CRA as well as the individual who critiques the various reports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Learning Objectives\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Learning Objectives\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.barnettinternational.com\/uploadedImages\/Barnett_Educational_Services\/images\/LiveSeminars\/LearningObjectives.jpg?n=1786\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"Abstract\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe the requirements of documenting monitoring activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImplement strategies for effective writing outside of the monitor visit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffectively manage site and sponsor activities and document them appropriately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize the importance of a well written Monitoring Visit Report\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluate well-written and poorly-written material from actual studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the appropriate use of Notes to File in both patient-related and study-related situations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrite effective documents for various types of monitor visits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Who Should Attend\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Who Should Attend\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.barnettinternational.com\/uploadedImages\/Barnett_Educational_Services\/images\/LiveSeminars\/WhoShouldAttend.jpg?n=5464\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"Abstract\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical Research Associates\/Monitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead Clinical Research Associates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContract Clinical Research Associates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical Research Associate Managers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProject and\/or Study Managers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProject and\/or Clinical Trial Assistants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality Assurance Personnel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Instructor\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Instructor\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.barnettinternational.com\/uploadedImages\/Barnett_Educational_Services\/images\/LiveSeminars\/Instructor.jpg?n=4140\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Abstract\"\u003eGary B.
