Workshop B: Targeting Clinical Trial Billing Education to Boost Compliance

June 20, 2022 | 12:30-3:00PM ET

 

Training to improve clinical trial billing compliance is often overlooked or pieced together with dense information that is difficult to assimilate. Our team has developed short, focused training modules that can be assigned to different stakeholders in the organization based on their specific roles that touch on clinical trial billing. We have found that overwhelming everyone with the entire process does not improve compliance, but that focusing on the role the individual plays in the research billing process helps to increase understanding. Based on these insights, this workshop will offer effective training tools and strategies you can implement at your organization to improve clinical trial billing compliance, including:

  • Understanding the different learning needs of the individual team members related to research billing
  • Simplifying a complex and technical process into relevant information to apply to daily workflow
  • Developing the learning tools that will be most effective for your clinical trial billing team
  • Strategies for sharing knowledge with involved stakeholders throughout your organization
