In the field of clinical research, one of the biggest hurdles can be finding eligible patients who are willing to actively participate in studies by taking time out of their lives over a period of months or years.
While research providers have been working for years to address this problem, one innovative model has shown significant promise in improving the patient retention rate of clinical research: integrating research into existing private practices and making patient participation a natural extension of the care process with their provider.
Participating in a clinical trial can have clear benefits for both a private practice and the patients they serve, setting an organization apart from its competitors and providing patients access to innovative therapies, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
