How can I trust the quality assessments made by Diligent?
Diligent uses a comprehensive set of standards for qualification that were developed by the WCG Avoca Quality Consortium service providers and sponsors, all with the goal of improving effectiveness and reducing variability during the vendor qualification process. The qualification standards are dynamic and updated as best practices and global regulatory requirements evolve. There are a set of core standards that apply to all vendors as well as sector-specific standards that reflect the 25 service areas shown above.
The Diligent Qualification Platform service builds on these standards using a risk-based assessment of development program requirements. This innovative approach helps clinical trial sponsors and CROs to manage vendor risk effectively and to document their vendor qualifications as required by global health authority regulations. Outsourcing vendor qualification to Diligent reduces variability and enables improved compliance.
