Dennis Osmer, former Worldwide Head of HSE, will be presenting some thoughts about quality implementation of TapRooT®, a system he has used for over 20 years at the 2012 TapRooT® Summit. Key elements covered will be: use of pilots; internal teaching; site review teams; investigator training; focused approach to broad approach; and continuous improvement.
