Building Better Clinical Trials Starts With Better People
Delivering Good Clinical Trials Starts With Good People
In clinical development, quality isn’t optional – it’s everything! Regulatory scrutiny is intensifying, trial complexity is growing, and the margin for error is razor-thin. Sponsors need more than a vendor. They need a partner who can prove their workforce is not only trained, but truly competent.
Embedding IAOCR’s industry-recognized accreditations into your business operations will elevate your organization to move forward and beyond compliance checklists. Embedding a foundation of verified competence throughout your global teams will deliver measurable value for your organization, your workforce, your clients and, most importantly, clinical trial patients.
From Training to Transformation: A Smarter Way to Assure Quality
There is a critical gap in the way the clinical research industry qualifies staff. Education, training and experience alone do not ensure competence. When quality issues arise in trials, they’re often tied to inconsistent decision-making, inadequate documentation, and/or not following the protocol. To solve this, IAOCR’s performance-based accreditation approach focuses on:
- Assessing how CRAs perform in real-life trial situations
- Identifying individual and team-level development needs
- Creating an evidence-based foundation for quality assurance
In terms of results for your organization, this plays an essential role in:
- Improving staff retention and engagement, through improved support and the opportunity to gain a valuable Professional Accreditation
- Improving client satisfaction, because competent workforce perform at a higher level
- Reducing ineffectiveness and inefficient working, thus reducing resource-related costs
- Improving quality, by embedding a “right first time” approach that reduces risk and rework
- Delivering a competitive advantage to help you attract, win and retain new clients
