  • Method and article of manufacture for performing clinical trial budget analysis
    Patent number: 8504384
    Abstract: An electronic method and article of manufacture is provided for analyzing clinical trial budgets. A clinical trial budget is input into a processor. The budget includes activities and associated activity costs of a clinical trial. The activities of the inputted clinical trial budget are classified into a set of standardized service categories. The processor is used to electronically allocate the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category so that budget costs of the clinical trial can be objectively analyzed. A report of the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category is outputted for use in analyzing budgets for clinical trials.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and article of manufacture for performing clinical trial budget analysis
    Patent number: 7788114
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided of analyzing budgets for clinical trials. A clinical trial budget is entered into a processor. The budget includes activities and associated activity costs. The activities are classified into a set of standardized service categories. The processor then allocates the associated activity costs with the respective standardized service category. The budget further includes assumption specifications. The processor further calculates per unit costs of the assumption specifications. The activities and the associated activity costs are then equalized against reference assumption specifications using at least the per unit costs.
