Metrics and Identifying Data Trends

Four week course begins June 14 

This asynchronous online course has been designed for anyone directly involved with managing EDC or paper trials.  It assumes that learners will have some basic clinical research knowledge including the importance of metrics. The course will provide a more expert level of detail in following the flow of CRF data through defined process, and understanding data trends within the data that has been collected. Participants will have opportunity to practice applying what they learn.

Over four weeks, the course will address general principles, best practices and issues to consider for establishing metrics of CRF flow. Standards and compliance for tracking data will be detailed in depth.  Collaboration and communication with appropriate team members during all phases of clinical trials will be highlighted.
