The literature review is a fundamental, but often poorly executed, component of a clinical evaluation report (CER) for medical devices. With regulatory bodies increasing their scrutiny of literature reviews and CERs in general, organizations are looking for new ways to consistently deliver regulatory compliant, audit-ready literature reviews on time and on budget.
This webinar will cover practical, proven methods for building a predictable, cost-effective and standardized literature review process. The presenters will leverage the DistillerSR software platform to provide living examples of best practices and to illustrate the application of specialized software in this domain.
If you are involved in CER preparation or literature reviews in general, this is an opportunity to increase your understanding of the processes, best practices and potential pitfalls associated with them. Even experienced staff will pick up new, practical methods that will improve their day-to-day processes and make their work more valuable.
