Explore how workload assessments can validate staff increases, ensure equitable work distribution, and justify budgets through the Ontario Protocol Assessment Level (OPAL) tool. This session presents a study mapping an adapted OPAL score to actual coordinator hours at a single site, demonstrating its predictive power for accurate capacity estimates in clinical trials. Learn about the methodology and findings, including significant correlations between OPAL scores and coordinator effort, and gain insights into practical applications for enhancing trial management efficiency.
