Resource Forecasting

Are the study’s resource allocations accurate? Why are staffing levels so high for Month 10? For site initiation? We need to accelerate the study by 60 days — what will be the impact on resource hours and cost? Are staffing levels sufficient for a quick ramp-up? Have we allocated sufficient resources through each month of the study?

ClearTrial software follows a true project management/activity-based planning methodology, giving you accurate and detailed forecasts of resource requirements and utilization — linked to your clinical assumptions and based on when the work will actually be performed. Get visibility to the resources required for each major task, from study setup and site approval, to site closeout and stat reports. View specific resource requirements by department as well as by detailed task for an accurate forecast into staffing allocations. Change any clinical assumption and instantly see the effect on FTE’s and hours of work. View monthly resource demands to optimize internal and/or external resource utilization.

ClearTrial can also be integrated with generic resource management software like Microsoft Project and Planisware. ClearTrial software automatically generates accurate monthly resource demand, based on your clinical assumptions and the clinical intelligence that is embedded (and continually updated) within the ClearTrial software. This resource demand forecast can be loaded into a generic resource management system to more accurately compare required vs. available resources.

ClearTrial’s extensive resource forecasting lets you:
  • Lower internal personnel costs
  • Optimize staff ramp-up
  • Obtain better staff leverage
  • View resources by department, provider, location, task, hours of work, costs, and more
