Abstract
Research is an important factor of enhancing our understanding while obtaining new knowledge.
My research question investigated the factors of research that influence the accuracy of
appropriate data. Within the last 30 years, researchers have introduced progress in biomedical
research development enhancing the forms of clinical procedures that are current and for those to
come in the future. The procedure involved within research can affect the success of the process
and the information obtained. The research within this essay shares the characteristics of
technology and methodology that are involved in the process of clinical research while
understanding the administrative effect followed from the procedure. With the help of
technology, researchers have more data instruments to find deeper information improving the
process of research. Instrument selection can hinder or enhance the data obtained. When looking
for detailed diagnosed imaging researchers can determine which appropriate instrument and
procedure to use from X-rays, agnetic esonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography scan
(CT scan). All technology and methods perform to different needs to tailor to achieve different
information. The research will be reviewed through numerous council boards to evaluate all
aspects of the investigation and thus analyzed to understand the information’s importance to the
medical field. Administration of the data obtained can become published and implemented into

research affects and influence the clinical world. Technology has played a crucial role by
enhancing data through the process of achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted
effort or expense. Most procedures have a distinct protocol that was formulated from early
research to narrow down how to perform to the best aptitude, through research we can test how
the data collected in different methods can impact the data records. It is a primary issue to have
the proper data collection method and instrument selection to have appropriate data within
healthcare to follow the standard for clinical reliability, accuracy, and validity. With the data
collected from research, the clinical administration sparks the discourse of what is the method to

Technology has become the forefront essence of clinical trial decision-making and data
collection. Technology has assisted clinical research through the process of suggesting a standard
to follow and continues to take a look into any new developments that is currently in the process
of being introduced. Clinical trials can depend on new technology to provide more data involved
within research from different perspectives. With the help of technology, researchers have more
data instruments to find more information, ranging from having the ability to use an electron
microscope to make it possible to see the resolution of half the width of a hydrogen atom.
Technology has assisted the new ability to use the Interactive Response Technology that
involves different systems that has an access to data through a web-based system.
With continuous advancements in new technologies, such as mobile devices and apps,
provide plenty of comprehensive reports to investigate the current data, trends, and projections.

As stated by Pharmaceutical Product Development, since 1997 there have been plenty of new
developments that they have custom-design, developed, and individually validated more than
850 systems worldwide, supporting more than 50,000 sites and 500,000 patients. Pharmaceutical
Product Development has held the title of the leading provider of Interactive Response
Technology systems and continues to provide more quick and efficient systems that authorizes
has made a crucial impact in research in healthcare by saving time and increasing patient
participation. Patient recruitment and retentiveness is a common consistent challenge that all
clinical researchers and biopharmaceutical companies tolerate. With new advancements such
direct to patient influenced apps can provide the solutions that can increase researcher or
physician outreach to the patient community. These direct to patient applications and web
browsers have become increasingly used with the rise of online communities. As stated on their

It is now common in today’s society that people will connect with providers to
understand their current condition or circumstance of health. There are other companies and
interfaces out there to establish client data management along with lab and clinical supplies

making capabilities. Along with the rise of online communities, the pharma and biotech
advancements to innovate existing clinical trial data and systems currently established while
influencing new clinical discoveries. As the future of technology is ever growing, so is medicine
and healthcare as it is closely connected to the privilege of patients as well as individuals to take
care of their own health through personal devices and technologies. Health trackers, wearables
and sensors are great devices to get to know more about our health and to commit in clinical
research. The database such as Genospace, have provided through these technologies help
provide more patients for clinical research. GenoSpace launched a clinical trial matching app to
assist researchers to health record database. This has streamlined research by allowing physicians
and participants to have another form of communication to complete a study. The Genospace app
provides a medical database of patients that researchers can connect to for clinical research
increasing the accessibility of finding the participants to take part in the study and making it
easier for patient participation. Technology is shaping clinical research and modeling the
The instrument chosen for the study can impact the ease of the investigation due to the
researcher having the most appropriate technology to complete the study to their best ability.
Within the article “Critical appraisal and selection of data collection instruments: A step-by-step
guide” by Roehrs, C. and Wilson, V. (2016) presented by Sciedpress, is an abstract from the
Journal of Nursing Education and Practice and the online article provides information for nurse
researchers to improve valid data through the idea of using accurate instruments to collect data.
The article has a comprehensive check list to assist readers to swiftly and appropriately apprise
quantitative research collection instruments. The article’s main goal is to aid nurse researchers to
CLINICAL RESEARCH 7
objectively discuss, weigh information, and make scholar conclusions. The excerpt principles of
the step-by-step list that involves Critical Appraisal and Selection of Data Collection Instruments
are established from the tenets of the measurement theory, literature, and experience of the
included authors involved with the schooling/education and experience/practice research. The
article communicates in great detail of conducting quantitative research. I agree with the article’s
concept of how all data collection instruments selected within a research study must undergo a
comprehensive critical appraisal to evaluate the properties of reliability and validity, but in
addition to estimate the quality of congruence of the method with the research motive, research
operational ideas of the intended research variables and the over-all calculation outline.
Methodology
Methodology is the design that the study will follow and the factors that affect the
outcome of the research. Within all research, different research methods have different purposes,
different levels of validity, and test different variables. Different forms of methodology can
include but not limited to true experiments, case-control studies, meta-analysis, and test tub lab
studies. Clinical trial procedures can enhance or hinder the success of systematic research due to
methodology alone. This can affect the validity of the research and the success. For example,
some physicians have a methodology that includes the physician to be the researcher while
treating patients. Many physicians complete research from these two perspectives to have more
control of the study and to investigate the information found to a fuller extent. However,
physicians that are treating patients may face the difficulty of interest involving the therapeutic
and analysis role of the physician thus affecting the methodology chosen decreasing validity of
the research. All guidelines and accuracy of instruments and procedures are made from intensive
CLINICAL RESEARCH 8
research from years of shared information from education, shared research, and shared
experiences. Within the last 30 years researchers have introduced progress in biomedical
research development enhancing the forms of clinical procedures that are current and for those to
come in the future. Antonia Vlahou and Manousos Makridakis wrote a detail edition of Springer
Protocols titled “Clinical Proteomics” which includes the standards of healthcare protocol. This
source in particular communicates the idea that there could be multiple shifts within data
collection involving the tools to use and the protocol to follow. The methodology presented in
research is very important regarding to the data concluded. Gelijin presents the contrasting idea
that physicians that are treating patients may face the difficulty of interest involving the
therapeutic and analysis role of the physician. The author states that Swazey and Fox, who are
fellow writers of the edition, examined that physicians involved in both experiment and
treatment face stress. The authors presented the notion that the strains that are presented in those
physicians are due to the intensified experience from their usually close and continual connection
with the patients as their subjects; by fellow researchers’ scientific and ethical criticism of their
study; and by a vested interest in protecting their professional stature. They also face a struggle
in advancing them to have identification for being exceedingly successful with development in
knowledge or system. The development has been placed in a situation of the context of the
physician's medical investigation and the trust relationship between the patients and the
physicians. The method chosen involved greatly research because many different research
designs can be used especially if the research involves the affects study of human growth and
development.
Administration
CLINICAL RESEARCH 9
The administration of the research findings sparked discussion of the data presented and
how the interpretation of the study will affect healthcare. There are plenty of evidence of
development of research from different point of views to highlight different treatments but the
decision to take is limited to physician and organization convention. Quality questionnaire form
presented to the patients after the conducted study can help pharmaceutical companies evaluate
the success of the research in terms of the patient well-being. The research will be reviewed
through numerous council boards to evaluate all aspects of the investigation and thus analyzed to
understand the information’s importance to the medical field. Administration of the data
obtained can become published and implemented into the standard of a pharmacy, hospital, or
private practice. The data obtained and the patient questionnaire prompts the discourse of what is
the method to pursue and what method is appropriate for different patient conditions. The
discourse is continuous but clinical rules and implementations have been suggested to create a
standard within the field. It is very important to have a standard in the clinical field, valuable
consistent results, and to limit any crucial errors. To have the appropriate data research within
healthcare is the foundation to follow the standard for clinical reliability, accuracy, and validity.
Discussion
The success of the evaluation is strongly based on having professional self-regulation and the
interpretation from institutional review boards. Review boards are not necessarily contacted
before investigation research and the board does not conduct in-depth background inspection of
the research outline, so it is crucial to have an appropriate study so that the conclusions can be
accurate and accepted. Having a good foundation of research is crucial especially in regard to
peer review ounce the research is published. There are many important segments involved with
research such as initiation of an idea, formation of a research question, appropriate study design,
