How Clinical Research works in SkillScorer
Score
Each team member in a department is scored on the Clinical Research skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank team members, compare two side by side, or compare your departments against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Clinical Research skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's department.
Clinical Research scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Clinical Research scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Clinical Research scorecard covers 12 skills: Protocol Knowledge and Compliance, Informed Consent Process, Participant Recruitment and Retention, Source Documentation and CRFs, Adverse Event Reporting, GCP and Ethics Requirements, Investigational Product Management, Monitoring and Audit Readiness, Communication with Sponsors and Sites, Data Entry and Query Resolution, Confidentiality and Organisation. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are team members scored in Clinical Research?
Every team member is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one department and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Clinical Research?
Clinical Research starts with these levels (called “Seniority Level” in the app): Graduate, Technician, Scientist, Senior Scientist, Team Leader and Manager. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Clinical Research skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In pharmaceutical & life sciences the app talks about team members, departments and team leaders, and you can change any of those words too.
