It is often unclear to sites whose responsibility it is to do what when using DCT methods. Site considerations for implementation of DCTs include training, ongoing support, cost, risk, responsibility, logistics, integrations, and teaching patients how to use and enable the DCT offerings. This team developed a set of questions to be applied before site selection and at site activation to aid in study planning.The newly released work is now available on the DTRA website at: https://www.dtra.org/roles-and-responsibilities-colabYou can join TGIF-DTRA Sessions live on LinkedIn Live on Friday's at 12:00 PM ET by checking out our LinkedIn.
