Keeping up with ClinOps: Why and how to improve delivery

Life Sciences, Clinical Trials,
  • Thursday, October 12, 2023

In May 2021, the Association of Clinical Research Professionals ACRP wrote that “Clinical trial complexity levels show an unrelenting increase.” Thankfully, new tools like digitization, decentralization, and AI are showing promise in helping streamline clinical conduct.

While innovation is key to better trials and more treatments to market faster, it must be built around those who “do the work” – Clinical Operations professionals.

Join us for a panel discussion on common ClinOps challenges that could benefit from better experiences and approaches. In addition, we will be covering what other industries are doing well to enhance user experience, and how we can take their lessons and apply them in clinical trials.
