Background: Extensive experience with antidepressant clinical trials indicates that interrater reliability (IRR) must be maintained to achieve reliable clinical trial results. Contract research organizations have generally accepted 6 points of rating disparity between study site raters and central "master raters" as concordant, in part because of the personnel turnover and variability within many contract research organizations. We developed and tested an "insourced" model using a small, dedicated team of rater program managers (RPMs), to determine whether 3 points of disparity could successfully be demonstrated as a feasible standard for rating concordance.
