The purpose of this working group was to develop metrics for a scoring rubric used to determine clinical research workload and study complexity for clinical research conducted in outpatient settings. This was important because many of these protocols were being implemented in ambulatory care settings. To guide this project, the group established four key principles: usability, workload measurement for clinical research professionals, the ability to determine study complexity, and usefulness for all phases of study trials. Through these efforts, the working group aimed to develop a practical, user-friendly scoring rubric that could be applied in outpatient clinical research settings to support more efficient and effective clinical research.

Group Mission
The mission of the working group was to develop a practical, user-friendly scoring rubric that can be applied in outpatient clinical research settings to support more efficient and effective clinical research. To achieve this, the group focused on developing metrics that measure clinical research workload and study complexity for all phases of study trials while ensuring usability, workload measurement for clinical research professionals, and the ability to determine study complexity.
Identify the various dimensions and attributes of clinical research complexity.
Develop a scoring rubric that can be used to effectively scale clinical research study workload and complexity.
Create a community of KL2 Program Directors to share best practices and create a forum for discussion.
