Site Rescue and Consultation Services
Comprehensive Site Evaluation
The landscape of research is constantly evolving, and if your site has not kept pace with these changes, it may fall behind in terms of technology, processes, and practices. This lack of evolution can hinder your site's ability to conduct efficient, modern trials and stay competitive in the research field.
Let ACCT do a deep dive into your daily operations to make sure your site is meeting its full potential and that the site is leading with best practices from pre-award to post study. Accuracy and efficiency are important in study execution as well as business operations. Poor performance in these areas can affect sites getting future trials, the financial viability of a site, and cause poor regulatory compliance.
Study Rescue
Frequent monitoring visits or follow-up inspections due to poor quality of work are a clear red flag. If the site is not able to meet the expected quality standards in the first place, it could result in wasted resources, delays, and a tarnished reputation with sponsors.
Let us get your study back on track quickly!
Financial Analysis
Poor Financial Performance can be a result of poor budgeting, contracting, and a poorly defined process for collecting revenue. Many research departments are considered failures because revenue is not collected in a timely efficient manner.
Poor staffing models can significantly impact finances as staffing is the highest expenditure the site will have. Having too many or too few employees can directly affect your bottom line. Too many employees can lead to unsustainable costs, while too few can limit your ability to generate revenue. Let ACCT help you develop a customized staffing model today — and set your organization up for success.
Improving these areas can significantly reduce the risk of poor financial performance and ensure that the site operates more efficiently in the future.

Strategic Planning and Development Consultation
Strategic planning is essential for advancing a clinical research program, especially in a rapidly evolving industry. Failure to meet operational demands can lead to financial instability, reduced trial access, and staff turnover.
ACCT helps research sites develop scalable plans to support sustainable growth and success.
Sponsor and FDA Audit Preparation
Are You Audit Ready?
Studies with protocol deviations, poor consenting or reconsenting practices, a high number of queries, or inadequate investigational product accountability may be subject to an audit by the sponsor or the FDA. Audits also commonly occur before the investigational product is submitted to the FDA for approval.
Let ACCT help you prepare. Our experienced consultants conduct a comprehensive review of study records and equip your staff with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate an audit with confidence. We ensure your team is prepared for what to expect and how to effectively manage the process.
Contact ACCT today for expert audit preparation support.
Staffing Analysis and Planning
Struggling with Staffing in Clinical Research Operations?
Staffing is one of the most challenging aspects of clinical research operations. Poor staffing can negatively impact employee morale, data quality, communication, and overall team dynamics. Since staffing is also one of the biggest expenses for a site, having an efficient, quality-driven team is crucial.
If staffing issues are affecting your site, ACCT can help. Our staffing analysis measures employee workloads and assists in developing a strategic staffing plan tailored to your site's future pipeline of work.

Quality Management Development
Quality data is essential to the success of clinical trials. Poor data or protocol execution can jeopardize trial outcomes and may lead to audits by sponsors or the FDA. Underperforming sites risk losing future trial opportunities. Implementing a comprehensive quality management program—including strong SOPs and internal quality control—can reduce risks and support long-term success. This approach should encompass all aspects of clinical research operations, not just individual trials.
The ACCT team has successfully implemented quality management initiatives across numerous companies and sites—let us help elevate your site next!
Clinical Research Technology Assessment
Leveraging technology enhances data quality, communication, workflows, and patient safety in clinical trials. Technology also allows for remote monitoring making the site appealing to Sponsors and CROs. With many tech options available, choosing the right one can be daunting.
The ACCT team offers consultations and has experience helping tech companies optimize their products for clinical research.
