Drug accountability is crucial for monitoring patient compliance and ensuring study data integrity. Cenduit has extensive experience implementing drug return, reconciliation and accountability into the IRT system’s functionality. Interactive response technology is the ideal tool for this purpose as it already tracks each medication dispensing unit by warehouse, depot and site location as well as by batch, bulk lot, packaging step, label group and patient allocation.
Examples of drug accountability tools that we can build into your customized IRT system:
| Drug Accountability Tool |
Description |
| Site user-compliance reporting for each dispensing event |
- Records the amount of unused drug left in the dispensing unit
- Calculates and trends a patient's compliance by visit and throughout the course of the study
|
| Reconciliation reports |
- Records materials that "should" be on site and ready for returns/destruction prior to the monitor's site visit
- Records accountability and returns directly on the report with proper formatting
|
| Post returns & destruction accountability |
- Closes the loop in the IRT system from the material's creation and receipt through to the destruction following return
