  • Publication number: 20200265947
    Abstract: It is provided a clinical test support system, comprising an arithmetic unit and a storage device coupled to the arithmetic unit, and a visit plan preparation unit to prepare a visit plan for the execution facility of a clinical development monitor; and a prediction unit to calculate the evaluation index of the visit plan. The storage device stores evaluation index information including the record of information for the evaluation of the visit plan and a risk evaluation model including the record of the risk evaluation result of each execution facility. The prediction unit calculates an evaluation index used to execute the visit plan prepared by the visit plan preparation unit by referring to the evaluation index information and the risk evaluation model; and output a visit plan selected based on the evaluation index.
