I used to work in a busy clinical research lab. We would normally have 10 on-going large and overlapping projects. Each person simultaneously contributes to every single project. Therefore, there is a lot of room for error. Because it’s a clinical research lab, the amount of paperwork for each subject is huge, documents could go up to 3-5 inches thick to read/fill out. One of our big issues is keeping all forms up-to-date and signed correctly. We had a halt from all data collecting/analyzing activities from the IRB once because two subject’s consent forms were not up-to-date even though the content of the protocol was not different. So, unfortunately, our progress was stalled, we established a double, triple checking system so that this issue would never come up again. It is crucial to have a good and thorough checking system so that everything could function smoothly in the long run.
