FSP model
You retain overall accountability, responsibility and direction of the study—including provision of direct management and work assignments to your assigned resources.
-
Enhanced FTE: input-based model
You retain overall accountability, responsibility and direction of the study, while our team at Fortrea is responsible for liaising with you and making work assignments directly with your assigned resources.
-
Unit deliverable: output-based model
We manage the day-to-day tasks and the resources assigned to your program. We retain responsibility for decisions concerned with hiring and line management of our employees who will work from Fortrea offices or who are field-based. The staff members assigned can use our tools and systems or yours.
Together, with the right delivery model, exceptional is possible
Throughout every interaction, we implement rigorous and visible key performance indicators (KPIs) as core components of our quality control metrics to enable the transparency and accountability you need to move forward.
We are here to manage your clinical operations and clinical trials with greater efficiency and flexibility. By linking quality people, intelligent processes and deep technical expertise, we can deliver performance measurement and accountability, so you can focus on developing innovative therapies for patients.
