Many people are under the impression that Risk-Based monitoring equates to less monitoring, which isn’t actually the case. IMARC Research has utilized risk-based monitoring since the company was founded and we have always believed that Risk-Based Monitoring = Informed Monitoring.  In fact, if you step back and consider how you manage a clinical trial you will probably notice that you have been employing some level of risk-based methods yourself.  Maybe you have worked with one particular site many times before and you know you can count on them to deliver quality care to research subject while collecting accurate data.  Perhaps knowing this, you choose to postpone their monitoring visits until after site visits to newer less experienced sites can be made.  This is risk-based monitoring!
