In this webinar, you will come away with a tangible set of skills that give you the confidence to carry out systematic and holistic clinical assessments. This course has been revised and updated for 2023 to reflect contemporary practice, examples, and information. Both clinicians and non-clinicians can undertake clinical assessments. Comprehensive clinical assessment is more than just filling out a few forms.  People with disabilities and older people often have multiple and complex care needs, so assessing them is a highly skilled activity. Initial assessments by care managers should identify any health issues which then can be referred to a clinician such as a Registered or Enrolled Nurse, Physiotherapist, or Occupational Therapist for a more in-depth assessment which then allows the health professionals to gain deeper insight into individual needs. Health issues and care needs are best identified through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and person-centred approach to assessment.  The practice of clinical assessment involves the ability to make clinically sound decisions; consequently, the aim of this webinar is to critically develop advanced knowledge and skills to enable you to conduct a robust clinical assessment independently and to identify when referrals are needed.

Fully remote or hybrid administration of clinical outcome measures in rare disease trials is on the rise. This is because of the recognition that remote assessments reduce patient burden through efforts within the industry to increase enrollment of traditionally under-served populations. Further, many assessments in rare disease trials are complex, and remote/hybrid trials readily allow for the use of highly expert centralized raters to administer and score the scales, thereby improving data quality via a decrease in variance and an increase in reliability for data collected. While study teams wish to implement these approaches, many are unfamiliar with the operational considerations needed to be successful. Based on interviews with site staff and key opinion leaders as well as first-hand experience with remote central rating in many international clinical trials featured speaker Dr. Pam Ventola will share newly developed guidance for remote centralized rating of standardized rare disease assessments. Attendees will gather best practices to ensure quality and consistent data collection, positive site experiences and patient retention via appropriate scale/technology requirements, schedule of assessments, central rater preparation & training and operational approaches. Register to gain insights into the newly developed guidance on reducing site/patient burden and improving data quality in remote rare disease trials.
