What is a KCI impact factor?

‍

At VISFO, a Key Clinical Investigator (KCI) impact factor is a proprietary measure used to identify and rank KCIs.

‍

How is it calculated?

‍

Calculating the KCI impact factor involves several steps, including:

  • assessing the volume of clinical trials in which they were an investigator
  • introducing weighting for trials in which they were the principal investigator
  • allocating extra weighting for trials with high enrollment efficiency and successful completion
  • performing statistical transformations to create an accessible metric for analysis.

How are impactfactors used?

‍

Ranking KCIs by impact factor allows swift identification of individuals closely aligned with strategic objectives, providing valuable data to inform engagement strategies.

‍

By identifying and engaging the right KCIs, organizations can leverage deep clinical expertise to optimize trial design, execution, and outcomes.
