ReVisionary Thinking

The Science and Strategy of Adapting to Change

 

Can you reach your goals, even if things aren’t going the way you expect? Most people (and organizations) are good at setting goals and making plans, but not very good at revising those plans when things change. But that’s the real work of resilience. Backed by Courtney’s data-driven research, ReVisionary Thinking offers concrete strategies for building “future readiness” and blazing a new path when the goalposts move on you. 

 

At the end of this session, participants will be able to…

· Avoid the typical mistakes people make when confronted with change

· Improve mental flexibility as individuals and teams

· Understand why gut instinct fails you in unfamiliar situations—and how to counter it

· Generate more (and more innovative!) ideas when solving problems

Connecting the Spokes to the Hub:  Creative Solutions for Support Services

Tuesday 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm AZ

Clinical Research Support Services are generally not primary users of OnCore; rather they are consumers of the data to drive their operations which in turn positively impacts time to activation and operations. Visibility into the clinical trial pathway, particularly the start-up timeline, provides many benefits for support services like research pharmacy, clinical research unit, and the investigator assistance program. In this session, representatives from The University of Michigan will share how they successfully implemented OnCore with these support services, reducing data duplication and improving and streamlining existing workflows leading to dashboards with integrated data instrumental to operations.

The Journey from a Legacy EDC Platform to Advarra EDC

Wednesday 10:30 am - 11:20 am AZ

How do you maintain compliance and workflows when your organization has elected to retire EDC and CTMS platforms you have been utilizing for more than 20 years? In 2021, UC Davis chose to retire a platform that provided CTMS and EDC capabilities, and move to OnCore and Advarra EDC. This change mandated a massive clinical trial data movement. Join the UC Davis team as they outline the “beta-project” of clinical data migration from their legacy platform to Advarra EDC. We’ll share the perils and pitfalls, the significant importance of project planning, mutually agreed upon timelines, and robust communication in managing a successful transition.

Training Isn’t Duct Tape…It Can’t Fix Everything

Wednesday 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm AZ

It may feel like the instant reaction to a problem is saying “we need training.” Training is often a good answer but that doesn’t always mean it’s the right answer. Taking a step back and conducting a thorough needs analysis may present other options. In this session, Advarra's Senior Training Specialist Cassie Hemmann will explore why some of the best training efforts fail, identify key steps to implement training that works, and provide alternative actions which may better support non-training challenges.

Enhancing Performance through Clinical Research Unit Scorecards: Driving Metrics for Excellence

Wednesday 1:00 pm - 1:50 pm AZ

The implementation of OnCore® by Duke University in May 2018 marked a pivotal step towards standardizing the clinical research process from protocol inception to project conclusion. This initiative aimed not only to establish a uniform research experience, but also to foster data transparency and metrics alignment with institutional objectives. While the focus on portfolio management was central to the OnCore integration, its effectiveness relied upon the availability of comprehensive and accurate information. In this session, Denise Snyder and Catee Mullen will outline Duke's Clinical Research Unit (CRU) Scorecard, created to identify and rectify areas requiring improvement across the research domain. They will share how the Scorecard leverages OnCore to help drive operational efficiency throughout the enterprise, how it encourages technology best practices, and how it has ultimately improved metrics related to enrollment, adoption, and financial performance.

No Train, No Gain: Key Elements of a Successful CTMS Training Program

Wednesday 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm AZ

A comprehensive training program is a critical component in both the successful implementation of a CTMS, and for realizing long-term institutional goals. Effective training helps to build knowledgeable end users, boost their comfort with the technology and realize a CTMS as a vital tool for managing research activities. In turn, these empowered end users support institutional goals by adopting centralized CTMS workflows that promote subject safety, billing compliance, financial management and much more. This presentation will cover essential elements of a comprehensive training program to ensure study teams have knowledge and skills to carry out end-to-end research workflows in your CTMS.

The 2-step Amendment Dance

Wednesday 3:00 pm - 3:50 pm AZ

During amendments, the process to align the updated billing grid release to the medical record system with the IRB approval of the protocol amendment is critical for research billing compliance. The timeline to also update the negotiated budget for sponsored trials frequently does not line up with the IRB approval. To alleviate this discrepancy the Fred Hutch / University of Washington OnCore team developed the two-step amendment process in OnCore. In this presentation, speakers will describe the rationale behind this workflow and take the audience through the ‘two steps’ of the process. They will describe the key workflows, dependencies, and decision points for releasing a billing grid for CRPC integration before the negotiated budget is entered. The presenters will describe process data, potential pain points, and adjustments being explored for improvements after two years into this process.
