Site Readiness
A site-first approach backed by proven expertise and innovative thinking
Setting up a site is not enough. I help clients think ahead and support your sites to achieve their goals without sacrificing efficiency or compliance.
I realize the importance that sites play in the clinical trial process. I offer tailored solutions directly to sites or on behalf to study team. Let’s discuss how to enable sites to thrive.
case studies
Post-market surveillance studies supporting small CRO site pipeline development
A small CRO needed to expand their site network but faced limitations with experienced research sites. The solution required developing research-naïve sites and inexperienced investigators to build a sustainable pipeline. Without standardized onboarding, training infrastructure, or centralized resources, new sites struggled with activation delays, protocol compliance gaps, and inconsistent performance across the portfolio.
challenge
- Limited experienced site network
- Research-naïve sites lacking clinical trial infrastructure
- No standardized onboarding or training process
- Fragmented study materials and resources
- Sites are overwhelmed by regulatory and procedural requirements
Specific issues
Structured Onboarding Program
Established standardized communication templates for staff onboarding across all sites
Created step-by-step activation checklist guiding sites through setup process
Developed comprehensive workflow for consistent site onboarding and training
Centralized Resource Hub
Included detailed instructions for IRB submission processes and timelines
Organized vendor platform links, study-level documents, and training resources in single location
Built Smartsheet-based quick reference guide consolidating all study materials
Compiled protocol clarifications, memos, and frequently asked questions
Through systematic site enablement, research-naïve sites gained essential experience on post-market studies, building their capabilities for future clinical research. The centralized resource approach reduced site confusion and activation delays, with sites accessing comprehensive study information in one location. Structured onboarding and ongoing support enabled new sites to successfully activate and run subjects, expanding the CRO's site network while maintaining quality and compliance standards.
