Investigator InformationIn-service and Admissions Requirements and Related FormsBack to Investigator Information Prior to scheduling your first study participant an in-service must be conducted. Please contact Margaret Garrett-Herry, F.N.P., ext 46041 or ext 41515 to schedule an in-service for your protocol. Please consider scheduling and in-service at least two weeks prior to the anticipated enrollment of your first study participant. The following items will be requested prior to the in-service: medical orders and a flow sheet that details the activities/services needed from the CRC staff (use templates below). All in-services will be video-taped to allow the entire CRC staff to view the in-service. The in-service format should include the following information: a brief summary of the background/significance, pathophysiology (if applicable), and specific aims of the study. In addition the in-service should also focus on the specimen collection aspect of the protocol if applicable. We request that study teams re-inservice CRC personnel every three years for on-going studies to update the CRC staff on study changes/addendums, meet new staff and to update the CRC in-service video library. If your protocol has already been approved by the GCRC, you can use the request for Admission form (RTF format) to enroll a patient at the GCRC. Form Templates
If you should require assistance regarding these forms, please contact Larisa Perman via e-mail at larisa.perman@mssm.edu. These forms should be filled out, signed, and submitted in addition to scheduling your patient with the nurse manager. Please note that we must have a copy of the completed and signed consent or the patient will not be admitted. In addition all related paperwork must be received 48 hours prior to appointment time. Please be sure that order sheets are signed and dated before patients arrive at the GCRC for admission. Order sheets without a study Medical Doctor's signature are not valid, and therefore prevent the patient's admission or evaluation from proceeding. Summary of Requirements (RTF format) Patient log sheet template (RTF format) now available for patients seen in locations other than GCRC. No Show PolicyIf a study participant does not arrive after 1 hour of their scheduled appointment at the CRC, the appointment will be considered a "NO SHOW." CRC staff will immediately notify a member of the study team (i.e., principal investigator, study coordinator, or designee) regarding the status of their study participant. Should the study participant arrive beyond the one-hour time frame, they will be accommodated based on staff availability at the CRC and/or rescheduled in a timely manner with a member of the investigative team. |
