Navigating Complexities In Global Payment Operations: Best Practices For Sponsors

Deploying a successful global program for paying clinical research sites is an achievable and worthwhile goal but requires an understanding of the differences in frameworks and motivations

• Software alone is not enough to create a sustainable program that pays site globally in a reliable, timely, and equitable manner
• Besides differences in tax structures, regulatory environments, languages and time zones, there is a less business-friendly environment in some EU countries to which sponsors need to adjust
• Often there are small changes sponsors and CROs can make in contract language that can make huge improvements in the payments process
• Embracing the diversity is key to success
