5 Ways To Prevent Costly Database Delays

By Muhammed Bilal, Vice President of Data Sciences at Medrio

In clinical trials, even minor delays can have major consequences. In a domino-like effect, not only could a delay negatively impact a study timeline by postponing research or missing a go-to-market window, but it also puts the project at greater risk for additional mistakes and negative feedback from sites, clients, and colleagues. Most importantly, any delay risks the prevention of life-changing solutions from reaching the people who need them at the earliest possible moment.

According to this author’s experience in the life sciences industry, study delays are most often caused by human error and are exacerbated by ineffective communication and a lack of proper task planning and distribution. Explore five ways to prevent costly database delays, such as creating ready-to-use templates and ensuring effective communication.
