This Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and auditing webinar will provide you with a working model on how to eradicate challenges related to clinical practice with emphasis on data quality and regulatory risk. This session will also help create proactive clinical practices built with the intention of strengthening auditing programs and ensuring compliance with risk-based techniques. Risk-based principles and quality management systems are paramount to clinical auditing of the modern era. Risk Based monitoring is built on the foundations of traditional auditing techniques. Auditors must now expand and adapt their skills to be effective in this new environment. It is now apparent that risk-based monitoring and quality risk management concepts need to be integrated as one as their usage continues to be widely adapted. Practical aspects of developing performance/quality indicators will be discussed. An advanced and in-depth review of the structural elements of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) will be covered in this webinar. All attendees will learn real life practical application of GCP regulations and guidelines for critical components of the clinical research process. Specific attention will be shown on to how quality systems or a lack thereof will impact overall data quality and regulatory risk.
