From Chaos to Clarity: Defining Who Does What?
2025-01-31 Hosts Jane Myles (DTRA) and Michelle Shogren (Innovate In What You Do!) were joined by Rebecca Kottschade (Mayo Clinic) and Caroline Redeker (Advanced Clinical) to share about the work they led at DTRA around Roles and Responsibilities when using decentralized elements in clinical trials.Sites are overburdened with technology and role ambiguity as the use of DCT methods in clinical trials evolve. It is often unclear to sites whose responsibility it is to do what when using DCT methods. Site considerations for implementation of DCTs include training, ongoing support, cost, risk, responsibility, logistics, integrations, and teaching patients how to use and enable the DCT offerings. This team developed a set of questions to be applied before site selection and at site activation to aid in study planning.The newly released work is now available on the DTRA website at: https://www.dtra.org/roles-and-responsibilities-colabYou can join TGIF-DTRA Sessions live on LinkedIn Live on Friday's at 12:00 PM ET by checking out our LinkedIn.
