Q. How long does a chart review take?
How long do you have to finish the review once it’s assigned? What does it involve? Again, it varies, but I’ve heard about 48 hours is a typical expected turnaround time. The review may involve reviewing the chart, speaking to the referring clinician, and documenting your findings/recommendations.
Q. What are the two conditions that require you get IRB approval for a project?
FDA regulations generally require IRB review and approval of research involving FDA-regulated products (e.g., investigational drugs, biological products, medical devices and dietary supplements) (21 CFR Part 56).
Q. Do you need IRB approval for systematic reviews?
Reviews, meta‐analyses, or descriptions of educational materials do not involve human subjects and do not require IRB review.
Q. Do all surveys require IRB approval?
A. Yes, all research projects, including those that you think will be exempt, must be submitted to the IRB for initial review. Some types of research are exempt from the regulations that govern and empower IRBs, and the regulations allow other types of research to be reviewed in an expedited process.
Q. What is exempt from IRB review?
Research can be approved as “exempt” if it is no more than “minimal risk” and fits one of the exempt review categories as defined by federal regulation 45 CFR 46. Studies that may qualify for “Exempt” must be submitted to the IRB for review. Exempt reviews are conducted by a member of IRB staff.
Q. What does it mean when IRB approval is not stated in the article?
Clearly, however, a major problem then occurs: if an article does not mention IRB approval, the reader does not know either whether none has been obtained or whether approval was obtained but simply not mentioned in the manuscript.
Q. Who Cannot sign an informed consent?
A minor, someone who is 17 years and younger, is generally considered not competent to make informed consent decisions. As a result, it is the minor’s parents who provide the informed consent for treatment.
