Site Assessment Questionnaire (Pre-visit)
Tool Summary Sheet
|Tool: |Site Assessment Questionnaire (Pre-visit) |
|Purpose: |To obtain information for assessment of site experience, capabilities, facilities, and overall preparedness for|
| |successful execution of study specific protocol requirements. |
|Audience/User: |CROMS, OCTOM, clinical site PI, clinical site study coordinator, NIDCR and program officials |
|Details: |This document serves as a guide for the collection of pertinent site information in the early stages of study |
| |start up. Information collected will inform CROMS/OCTOM in moving the site towards successful site activation. |
|Best Practice Recommendations:|This document may be used in conjunction with a teleconference at which the information is collected OR the |
| |questionnaire may be distributed for completion prior to the teleconference. It is at the discretion of the |
| |project leader to determine the best approach on a site by site basis. |
| |Known information will pre-filled to assist the site in completion. Additionally, questions that are not |
| |relevant will be eliminated (i.e., shaded grey) and will not be asked. |
| |Update the template to reflect study specific requirements ensuring that key points are captured (e.g., study |
| |supplies, staff experience, facility requirements, IRB). |
