CRAs and data managers: What administrative task makes you want to quit every time you do it?
I'm a (bored) data manager. Started in the lab, ended up building automation tools because I got tired of watching coordinators and CRAs spend half their day on things that should take five minutes.
Trying to figure out what to build next. Not selling anything just trying to understand where the time actually goes and what would be helpful.
Things I've seen eat people alive:
- Visit scheduling math done manually every time a protocol amendment drops
- EDC and internal systems having no idea the other exists
- QC documentation that somehow still lives in a binder
- Site activation status living in seventeen different email chains
But I've been in data management long enough to know my pain isn't everyone's pain. What's tasks and workflow drive you up the wall?
