To monitor is more than a title. It is a mindset.
While procedures, checklists, guidance documents, report templates and all sorts of other things combine to form the infrastructure for monitoring, what is possibly even more important is a shared mindset. What is a shared mindset? It is the acceptance by all that regardless of the title, there is a shared responsibility in calling out issues, in looking purposefully at this document, in questioning that blank. The empowerment of others to assume the role of monitor every day they come to work, in whatever capacity that is, will achieve the desired goals — protected patients, compliance, and quality.
The art of effective monitoring requires more than just an individual title, more than just a comprehensive procedure or checklist — it requires a mindset on the part of everyone who touches the clinical trial.
To learn more about making monitoring a mindset for those involved in the everyday management of a clinical trial, please read our white paper on the subject.
