I.C.A.R.E.

I.C.A.R.E. is a mnemonic created to condense the intricacies of tasks performed by Clinical Research Coordinators into five critical steps. These five steps are standardized across various key tasks, such as Informed Consent discussions and Adverse Event documentation and reporting. By streamlining these critical steps, the I.C.A.R.E. mnemonic aims to enhance information recall, improve learning, and boost memory retention related to day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.

The I.C.A.R.E. Reference Guide serves as a practical tool, with each task detailed using the mnemonic and is supplemented with examples and resources. By consistently using the mnemonic throughout the guide, it transforms into a powerful resource. Coordinators are now able to spend less time navigating through complex documents, workflows, and checklists and more time improving compliance and patient care.
