The visit process
The visit schedule lists the order and dates of the visits the subject must attend to complete the study. During each visit, you are asked to verify the subject's identity and provide the subject with the specific drug units identified by IRT.
Most visits follow the format of a regularly scheduled visit.
However, as you know, unexpected events do occur during visits. These events typically fall into these categories:
Note: Many of these tasks require specific permissions in IRT.
- Rescheduled (out-of-window) visits
- Visits completed for a future date
- Subjects who are removed from the study
- Problems with drug supplies
- Missed visits
- Log the subject information for all visits into IRT to keep an accurate count of the number of subjects for the study. These results have a direct impact on the success of the study.
- Check with the sponsor about policies for changing a visit in the visit schedule that is set up in IRT. Certain changes from the schedule (such as an early or late visit) might require approval, and the subject's record is locked until the approval is received.
