New STTI book outlines managing research, strategy, finance, regulation, and quality in health care
Health care research administration is much like an orange — remove the peel, and what appears to be simple is actually made up of many connected yet separate sections. Now two of the top clinical researchers and research coordinators are joining forces and sharing their tried-and-true policies, templates, and resources to create one of the only comprehensive references regarding clinical research management.
In Business Administration for Clinical Trials, authors R. Jennifer Cavalieri, BSN, RN, CCRC, CCRP, and Mark E. Rupp, MD, supply readers with a multidisciplinary approach to health care research administration that is applicable to any area of health care research. Published by the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), this new publication provides research professionals with a road map to understand strategic planning, financial management, and regulatory implementation in order to conduct successful clinical research trials. The authors share their tools and techniques for developing an effective administrative infrastructure and designing a study down to the granular level.
“We will show you our tactics, as well as how we take business processes and examples from clinical or other professionals and adapt them for our use in research. … Throughout these chapters, we’ve included various tips as well as real-world examples to help you better manage the administrative side of your research enterprise and to help you see what others who have gone before you have done,” said Cavalieri and Rupp.
