In clinical research all stages are important, however, data management is crucial. Without accurate and reliable data, it is not possible to make informed decisions about the development and use of new drugs and/or devices.
Pillars of Precision in Clinical Research
To make this possible, pharmaceutical companies work closely with researchers and contract research organizations (CROs). However, there are issues that can interfere with the accuracy of this data and the most common are:
- Non-standardized data collection: Each clinical trial and research site may have its own methods or recording procedures, which leads to an increased likelihood of errors and a poor data collection process. Accuracy Research works on continuous improvement through the implementation of standardized procedures for data collection ensuring that everyone involved in the clinical trial follows the same guidelines.
- Human errors: These errors can arise when entering data with typographical errors, when interpreting results with calculation errors or even in the administration of treatments and can be made by anyone involved in the process. Although we are aware that errors are inevitable, at Accuracy Research we are committed to minimize them as much as possible, through periodic training of our staff.
Tech Vigilance: Safeguarding Data Integrity
- Deficiencies in the computer system: They may include errors in the software or not having a quality control system and may even have a lack of security and privacy. For this reason Accuracy Research verifies all computer systems used in the different clinical studies, implementing procedures and periodic controls.
- External influences and biases are a concern because they can originate from a variety of sources, such as pharmaceutical industry financial support for research, pre-established expectations about the results, or the research environment. At Accuracy Research, we are committed to unbiased and transparent practices to reduce any influences that may harm the accuracy of our data.
- Ethical compliance issues: Lack of ethics in clinical research can damage the integrity of the data, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of the participants. At our institution, we have a standardized quality process in place to monitor and ensure that all our studies comply with national and international ethical and legal regulations.
Fidelity in Action: Ensuring Data Accuracy
We are confident that we can provide you with the accurate and reliable data you need to make informed decisions.
