This session will explore the current state of clinical research workload tools available and compare several similar adaptations of the Clinical Research Workload Tool in tracking productivity at various types of research programs.

The model to be presented offers great flexibility in both oncology and non-oncology settings, as it allows for continuity of care amongst study coordinators for their study participants. These metrics can be used to justify new and existing employees for research programs running clinical trials predominately on the high end of the acuity continuum. In addition, the metrics can be used to increase funding for additional coordinator and support staffing while improving study coordinator job satisfaction and retention at sites. This allows sites to achieve their enrollment goals and promote progress in their clinical research practice. In the wake of such improvements, research programs can expect more funding opportunities and greater success.
