Re-imagining Clinical Operations Capacity Management

How you forecast, manage and analyze your clinical operations resourcing needs will impact the speed, accuracy and cost of your clinical research. Inefficient resource forecasting of resources creates unnecessary overhead costs, administrative burdens, timeline risks and staff turnover. Join the discussion as we review the advantages and disadvantages of moving capacity management from sponsor to vendor. Forecasting and managing capacity can be burdensome and pull operational teams away from study delivery tasks, but ignoring them can cause over- or under-resourcing, leading to financial and/or operational headaches. Turning forecasting and capacity management over to a vendor or keeping it in-house both have their advantages and disadvantages.
