This ICF process Webinar training teaches how to create an informed consent process for achieving optimal site compliance and subject comprehension. It also discusses how an inadequate ICF can affect data integrity and patient safety and/or well-being.
Why Should You Attend:
The ICF process, which involves communication between a consentee (patient/subject) and a consenter (staff clinician/designee), is a vital component to the authorization of any medical intervention or clinical research trial.
IRBs, sponsors and clinical sites all share the responsibility of ensuring an adequate ICF process. Any inadequate ICF training to clinical sites and /or unclear communication regarding the ICF content to potential subjects can result in detrimental consequences to the process that can ultimately affect data integrity and patient safety and/or well-being.
