Evaluating Accrual and Reporting Lessons Learned

The closing of a trial is a time to take stock—to understand both what went well and what did not. Use the lessons learned to build the knowledge and capacity of your team and to strengthen future recruitment efforts.

Strategies

Lifecycle Strategy 1

Analyze the trial’s accrual data for lessons learned

Once a study is complete, it’s tempting to quickly move on to the next trial. But its worth investing some time to talk with your team, look at your data, and understand the experience—the good and the bad. 

Lifecycle Strategy 2

Report and share accrual experiences with others

This is the time to close the loop with the providers and organizations that supported accrual to your study. And think about the broader community of clinical trial professionals and consider sharing your experiences with them- perhaps here on AccrualNet™.
