Discussion on the management mode of real-time reimbursement of testing expense in clinical trials / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the management mode of the real-time reimbursement of testing expenses in clinical trials, dealing with the possible disadvantages of manual reimbursement and improving work efficiency.Methods:Based on hospital information system, the GCP center integrates the clinical trial information system, optimizes the trial reimbursement process, and explores a unique " clinic-GCP-finance" streamlined clinical trial real-time settlement management model.Results:This management mode of real-time reimbursement of testing expenses has been adopted for 3 years. This management model enables human subjects to complete the reduction or exemption of clinical trial-related medical testing expenses before making the payments, which is also highly praised by both investigators and subjects.It complied with informatization and technology development in the era of big data, realized full process dynamic supervision over clinical trial lab testing expenses and avoided management delay. It also had advantages in simplifying reimbursement process, reducing work load and mistakes, complying with inspection and improving trial quality.Conclusions:Clinical trial real-time reimbursement management mode of testing expenses works better in compliance with GCP, safeguards the rights and interest of human subject, and can provide a certain reference for other GCP centers.
