Webinar with New Dates and Times Added! How Can We Work Together to Monitor Quality Source Data Amid COVID-19 Restrictions?

3/22/2020

COVID-19 Webinar Remote Monitoring

Background:

In the rapidly changing environment of COVID-19 restrictions, how can monitors and investigators ensure subjects and their personal health information remain protected and data remains high-quality? The ongoing challenge of site closures, travel restrictions, and social distancing has many unsure of how to proceed.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a finalized guidance document for conducting clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. It clarifies how to proceed with alternative methods of assessments that maintain subject safety and are in compliance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP), while minimizing risks to data integrity.

Additionally, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released a Notification of Enforcement Discretion on telehealth and HIPAA. This allows covered health care providers subject to HIPAA to provide telehealth services through remote communication that may not comply with HIPAA Rules during the COVID-19 public health emergency. They also released a frequently asked questions guidance to clarify when and how the Enforcement Discretion may be followed in good faith.

Clinical Pathways is offering a live, interactive webinar that discusses the real feasibility of remote monitoring of the quality of the original source data. It ties in compliance with clinical trial predicate rules, including HIPAA and FDA, and the newly released guidances. The webinar is updated to support more examples of approaches with expanded sections on remote monitoring and help for sites when communicating.
