Research Documentation & Participant Confidentiality

Speaker: 

Kathryn Campbell, CCRP, CHL
Senior Program Manager, Nephrology Clinical Trials, VUMC

Tuesday, May 20, 2025 │12 – 1 pm Central

In clinical research, we live by the maxim “If it is not documented, it didn’t happen.”  Documentation of the informed consent process and what happens at study visits is an important part of good clinical practice. Outside of our research teams, though, other groups in an institution, such as billing, legal, and the medical teams in charge of the participant’s medical care may also rely on this documentation. But confidentiality is paramount, and we are obliged to protect the information we document. The speaker will discuss how the certificate of confidentiality may also impact how we document research activities.  

 After the session, attendees should be able to:

• Describe and discuss how documentation is needed in clinical research
• Describe and discuss how a certificate of confidentiality may affect documentation in clinical research
• Describe and discuss balancing the need for appropriate documentation with patient confidentiality.
