ABOUT US

Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement Program:
 

Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement Support - The HSPO offers support for novice researchers, as well as, more experienced investigators on campus. Upon your request, a representative of the HSPO is available to visit your department and work directly with the research team. The HSPO will:

1.    Assist investigators in answering questions regarding compliance issues either before or during the conduct of your clinical trial.  The code of federal regulations, ICH guidelines and state regulations can be very complex and also intimidating. We can help you understand the regulations and their practical implications as well as foster an understanding of the role they play in human subject protection

2.        Quality Initiative Announcement and FAQ's - BIDMC has developed a Post-Approval Study Assessment to assist investigators and research staff in conducting their own review of compliance documentation, with specific attention to meeting the approval requirements of the BIDMC CCI-IRB throughout the term of approval.  There are three visit types to investigators at BIDMC who are conducting research approved by the Committee on Clinical Investigations (CCI):

         Routine Site Assessment visits which are brief, educational. We focus proactively on identifying the risks for non-compliance that compromise patient safety and data integrity while also providing valuable recommendations for improvement.

         Focused Inquiry visits are brief targeted inquiry visits focusing on a specific question or concern generated by CCI review or complaint.

         Site Audits are comprehensive study audits, which assess protocol compliance, subject safety and risk, and study implementation against federal and institutional standards.

3.       Assist Investigators and the research team prepare for an FDA audit.   We can provide useful information and assessment tools. FDA Audit Preparation
