MAGI holds two Clinical Research Conferences per year: one in the Spring in the eastern U.S. and one in the Fall in the western U.S. Their next conference will be in San Diego, October 21-24, 2018, at the Hilton Bayfront, and then in Boston on May 5-8, 2019. Hope to see you there!
“All other Medicare rules apply”—that’s the information you’ll find in the fine print of Medicare’s Clinical Trial Policy (also known as NCD 310.1). National and Local Coverage Determinations (NCDs and LCDs) are important Medicare coverage policies that fall into this category, and items frequently required by protocols—such as EKGs, lipid panels, and imaging tests—have such determinations. This webinar will provide tips on how to interpret and comply with these policies, and will provide examples of common challenges in this area of coverage analysis.
The cancer centers represented by the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) form America's cancer research infrastructure and are the hubs of critical discoveries, treatment advances and improvements in patient care. AACI and the Cancer Center Administrators Forum (CCAF) jointly formulated the program for the 2018 AACI/CCAF Annual Meeting at the Loews Chicago Downtown Hotel from September 30 - October 2.
The CORE Conference is a one-of-a-kind gathering where users of Clinical Conductor from around the world come together to learn, share best practices and receive unparalleled insights on the latest in CTMS and clinical research technology.
While it may seem obvious that budget creation, negotiation and payment collection are interconnected, institutions can be met with payment delays and unrecognized revenue if their strategies for these steps do not capture the points of connection from the start. In this webinar, PFS Clinical’s experts will provide tips and tricks to help research organizations create a cohesive budget, negotiation, and payment collection process.
Join Liz Christianson, Client Engagement Manager and Amanda Miller, Training Manager at PFS Clinical, to learn strategies for budgeting, negotiating, and collecting clinical trial payments.
AACI’s Clinical Research Initiative (CRI) aims to improve clinical trials management at cancer centers. To help achieve this goal, the CRI annual meeting provides opportunities for clinical trials office administrative directors and staff to share best practices – through peer-to-peer networking, collaboration and ongoing communication – that can lead to more effective cancer treatments.

As research funds are becoming increasingly competitive, a frequent question asked is, “How much should we pay investigators for their work on a clinical trial and what methodology should be used?”. While the question may seem straightforward, it is far more complex and potentially volatile under the surface. The amount and the method by which you use to pay investigators can play a big role in the success, or lack thereof, of your site.
Join PFS Clinical’s Director of Site Strategy, David B. Russell, for a free, educational webinar on PI Compensation. During this webinar, David will discuss the regulation considerations when setting compensation amounts, the pros and cons of different PI compensation models, and investigator agreement considerations.

Within the past 2 years, interest in investigator-initiated clinical trials has increased greatly. The additional proof of practice and clinical application data that these types of trials provide have allowed for the transition of many newly approved therapies to standard practice.
While research offices are doing their best to support these endeavors, the additional administrative responsibilities involved are often unfamiliar, as they are normally taken on by industry sponsors and outside governmental agencies, including the new “final rule” requirements.
Join Velos and PFS Clinical for an informative, no-cost webinar on investigator-initiated trials and the "final rule" requirements on Thursday, September 14 at 12:00 PM CST. Besides getting tips and models for meeting requirements, learn how technology can help you develop protocols, observe compliance, and simplify submissions to clinicaltrials.gov.

Billing compliance is a crucial aspect of any organization that conducts clinical trials. Nonetheless, understanding and applying reimbursement guidelines is one of the most challenging aspects of research. In addition to providing quality patient care, institutions have the added task of understanding and complying with all federal and state guidelines related to clinical research billing practices. These tasks are not only time consuming, but can lead to errors that are costly and could impact your organization’s Medicare standing. Join Senior Clinical Research Analysts Liz Christianson and Nicole Bruecker for a complimentary webinar during which you will learn:

While research offices are doing their best to support these endeavors, the additional administrative responsibilities involved are often unfamiliar, as they are normally taken on by industry sponsors and outside governmental agencies. Consequently, mistakes made during the initial development and start-up stages of these trials are causing institutions significant financial and compliance-related ramifications.
