Reviewing and Monitoring

Quantitative measures, or metrics, are surprisingly easy to produce for R D work but they must be the right ones for the purpose. For instance, within targeted research the number of samples submitted for the primary test or screen and the number accepted for second phase testing is easily recorded. In reality these measures are typical of the ones that need to be used with extreme caution when judging performance. Simple quantity is inadequate the real objective is to get to the lead candidate in as few experiments as possible. However, the target for any performance measurement is for it to be quantitative, wherever possible, but always remembering a quality qualifier is required. 

A lot of the data collected on an individual s performance will be subjective. One important source of this type of information is from third parties, those people who come into contact with the person during their routine activities. For instance, it could be obtained by having discussions with plant managers, colleagues in marketing, consultants or academic collaborators. All these people can provide valuable, independent views on the performance of both individuals and groups, beyond the rather narrow technical confines of the R D function (see 360° appraisal in Section A, 2.1.2.1). 

At the time of the formal review with a member of staff, as much information as possible should be to hand. This will ensure that it is a positive discussion. Whilst spending some time discussing poor performance cannot and should not be avoided, the objective is to build on examples of good performance.

In summary, Patient Group Directions contain two separate but linked sets of information. Primarily the information concerns the medicine but linked with this is the review and monitoring process. We could therefore split the Patient Group Direction as shown below. 

Pharmacy computerized prescription records provide perhaps the most practical and least intrusive method for assessing adherence. This method allows the pharmacist to review and monitor prescription records to determine whether the patient is refilling medications in a timely manner. Computer algorithms can be incorporated into the pharmacy computer software system as a tool for monitoring adherence and measuring the timeliness of prescription refills.This method also has the potential to flag potential adherence problems that may develop over the course of several refills. One disadvantage of this method is that it does not assess actual...

Drug sponsors could begin phase I clinical testing without receiving IND status from the FDA. Instead, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) at hospitals or other medical institutions that administer the trials would review and monitor them. 

The results of the prioritization process are detailed in Table 3.5. Three activities have been ranked as Lower Risk and will be dropped from further consideration. These chemicals have been ranked as lower risk because the concentration of aqueous ammonia and formaldehyde in combination with a small shipment volume presents only a minor enviromnental impact potential. Additionally, methyl bromide is used at some facilities, but it is received in small cylinders that have only a localized impact potential if released while in transit. These chemicals and modes of transport will, however, continue to be reviewed and monitored as part of the global risk management program, including a primary management system review. The remaining chemical and modes of transport will be escalated for qualitative risk analysis. 

The European Commander-in-Chief must review and monitor operational plans generated by the Combined Task Force, ensure they are updated as the mission changes, and provide the personnel required to carry out the plans. 

The regulatory body should have a system to audit, review and monitor all aspects of its inspection and enforcement activities to ensure that they are being carried out in a suitable and effective manner. It should be ensured by means of this system that any changes necessary in inspection and enforcement activities owing to improvements in methods are implemented. The following points should be considered in this system ...
