AUTOMATED METHOD OF DISPLAYING AND UPDATING THE STATUS OF CLINICAL RESEARCH SITES IN A CLINICAL TRIAL TO IDENTIFY READINESS OF SITES TO ACCEPT PATIENTS

摘要

An automated process generates a displayable report of the status of clinical research sites in a clinical trial to identify readiness of sites to accept patients. The clinical trial has a plurality of sites in multiple countries which accept patients. A plurality of electronically tracked site-based milestones and separate country-based milestones are provided for the clinical trial. Each site is associated with a country. The status of the site-based milestones and country-based milestones are electronically tracked in a database. The site-based milestones and the country-based milestones are tracked separately from each other. A displayable report of the status of the electronically tracked site-based milestones and country-based milestones is automatically generated in a processor. The report separately identifies the status of the site-based milestones and the country-based milestones. Also, each site-based milestone is categorized into one of the plurality of milestone groups, and the report shows the status of the site-based milestone groups.
