Critical CRO Oversight Metrics: How to Establish the Right Metrics and Monitor them in Real-time

According to a recent CRO Oversight Benchmark Survey, 90% of ClinOps leaders plan to increase their use of CROs in the coming year, yet only 22% felt confident that their CROs would achieve milestones on time.

With impending changes necessary to address ICH E6 (R2), oversight is top of mind and requires sponsors to proactively answer questions such as:

• “Is my vendor doing what I hired them to do?”
• “Is the CRO adhering to my quality plan?”
• “Is the CRO’s performance meeting our expectations?”
• “What issues should we be escalating?”

Join Linda Sullivan of Metrics Champion Consortium (MCC) and Julie Peacock of Comprehend Systems for an in-depth look at CRO oversight and risk management best practice. Their presentation delves into the gaps in oversight processes, the causes of these gaps and how to successfully address them.

Attendees will learn from MCC’s pivotal work on how to establish effective metrics for managing oversight, determine the most important metrics, and then report results at the appropriate oversight level.

Additionally, attendees will see a live demonstration of how leading sponsors collaborate with their CROs for early detection and threshold control using automated dashboards and best practice KPIs.

With real-time, accurate dashboards and metrics, sponsors can increase their speed to a quality result.
