This
workshop teaches practical, immediately usable techniques that top-notch Good
Clinical Practice (GCP) auditors and FDA investigators employ. They include
techniques that are useful when auditing clinical trials that employ Electronic
Medical Records (EMR) and/or Electronic Data Capture (EDC). When monitors and
auditors apply these techniques, they can better detect, correct, and prevent
clinical study performance deficiencies at clinical sites and within their
organizations. Significant updates to
the seminar focus on the development and utilization of Quality Systems (QS) at
clinical sites to improve their performance. The workshop will emphasize Simple
Efficient & Effective QS processes that clinical site personnel can utilize
and how monitors and auditors can help them develop and implement them.
