Course Description

Monitoring consumes 30-60% of an operational budget for clinical trials or clinical programs. To sustain growth and reinvest in innovation, sponsors must find viable alternatives to reduce the resource burn, as well as create efficient and effective solutions to increase regulatory compliance, data integrity, and patient safety. By utilizing the combined toolboxes of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) + Quality by Design (QbD), sponsors can continue to invest in innovative products while producing customer-centric/efficient operational processes that are highly adaptable, constantly reproducible, and consume fewer resources. LSS + QbD provides CRAs and other risk-based monitoring staff with an arsenal of analytical tools to conduct fewer on site monitoring visits yet monitor the site more effectively and in real-time.
