To standardize the business and to clarify the achieved target of a clinical research coordinator (CRC), we designed the evaluation table of CRC technical skill classified by CRC works and their techniques and knowledge were self-evaluated. This evaluation table consisted of 20 CRC work skills.
The scores of the skills level for management of a trial medicine, drugs inhibited in concurrent use, deviation, coordination with related sections, Good Clinical Practice, start-up meeting, Institutional Review Board, newcomer education and English learning were lower than the average of total works in the fiscal 2012, but the scores of all works were improved in the fiscal 2013. However, the scores for management of a trial medicine were still lower than the average of total works in this year. This evaluation table clarified the present level of the CRC skill of our clinical trial management office and is a useful tool to educate a CRC on how to anticipate managerial tasks. Incorporation of the evaluated results of CRC technical skill in a balanced score card makes it possible to set up the achieved target of CRC or the qualified action plan of our clinical trial management office.
