Clinical Research KPIs are fundamental to understanding the internal and external dynamics between science and human resources as they both form a vital part of the research study’s successes.
These Key Performance Indicators are useful because they focus on the study’s human resource aspects and attaining the stated benchmarks to prove or disprove the hypotheses. Because these KPIs drive the study’s optimal functioning and success rates, they strengthen and foster relationships between the study’s sponsors, participants, and research scientists.
The study’s leaders are often unaware of the impact of the internal and external dynamics on the study’s outcomes. These KPIs highlight the potential pain points between the human resource components and the study’s scientific constraints to ensure that solutions are found before the issues linked to the pain points spiral out of control and cause incalculable harm to the research study.
