What is a Schedule of Assessments?
A Schedule of Assessments is a protocol-defined plan that specifies when clinical evaluations, tests, measurements, and safety assessments must be performed during a clinical trial. It outlines the timing and frequency of required assessments throughout the study to support participant monitoring and consistent data collection.
Where is a Schedule of Assessments Used in Clinical Trials?
A Schedule of Assessments is used during study planning and trial conduct to guide the collection of protocol-required clinical data. It helps study teams determine which evaluations must be completed at specific visits or time points throughout the study.
Assessments may include laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, questionnaires, imaging procedures, or other protocol-defined evaluations used to measure study outcomes and monitor participant safety.
How does Clinion support Schedule of Assessments management?
During study setup, study teams can configure protocol-defined assessments and assign them to specific study visits and time points within Clinion’s unified eClinical platform. This helps ensure that required evaluations, such as laboratory tests, vital signs, questionnaires, and safety assessments, are collected according to protocol requirements.
Assessment schedules can remain aligned across connected study workflows, helping sites capture the right data at the right visit. Centralized visibility into participant records and assessment data also supports consistency, traceability, and protocol compliance throughout the study.
What it looks like in practice
A clinical trial may require blood tests, ECGs, vital sign measurements, and safety questionnaires at baseline, Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12 visits. The Schedule of Assessments would specify which evaluations must be completed at each time point, helping study teams collect study data consistently throughout the trial.
