Clinical research professionals from the data management and clinical monitoring arenas don't always collaborate to the extent they should, and as a result miss out on opportunities to reduce “toe stepping” and data quality issues and to forge a better, more productive working relationship. This presentation focuses on steps that can be taken together to improve data quality and increase the speed and quality by which study databases can be reviewed, cleaned and locked.
Bringing together the data management and clinical monitoring groups early on in the study design and development and user acceptance process are some examples of how these groups can help ensure that varied and divergent ideas can be aligned for a better developed study database. However, beyond initial study design, the presentation addresses topics related to collaborative data review and cleaning during the conduct phase of the study. During study closeout, the successful lock of the database hinges on the close working relationship of the clinical field staff and the in-house data management staff. This presentation looks at how to make the study closeout process more effective, less time consuming, less redundant and more meaningful.
