While good organizational skills may present a challenge to many of us, allowing disorder to follow us to work is simply a recipe for disaster. Not only can disorganization create for a hectic day, it can also lead to larger problems with industry compliance standards and FDA approvals. Whether your company is involved in drug trials or device studies, poor organization can leave your site more vulnerable to non-compliance if risk-based monitoring is used. It can also create an unpleasant environment during an FDA audit if there are issues with a Sponsor or site’s compliance with ALCOA (attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, and accurate) guidelines. (Please refer to our ALCOA infographic for more information.)
