• Communicate findings as per planned process to ensure that all cross-functional stakeholders have the same understanding of the issue /emerging risk so that the appropriate follow-up action can be taken.

• Arm the primary site monitor with important information that will enable sponsor to be the clinical partner of choice; allowing monitors to work differently with site staff and have more productive discussions with our Investigator partners.
