Applying Data Insights to Improve Patient Recruitment and Retention

As clinical studies get more complex and pressures to deliver increase, trial sponsors are seeking more efficient ways to execute studies. Patient recruitment has long been considered and continues to be the most daunting pain point in clinical trials, accounting for roughly 40% of the time and cost for study completion. The loss of patients through planning, screening and execution of the study is not only costly, but it can also significantly delay or even prevent the successful execution of an otherwise valid study.

To increase efficiencies and stop the “leaky” patient recruitment funnel, we need to address these long-standing challenges with a new approach. The use of data to drive smarter decision-making is an important way of supporting a study’s end goals, but with so much talk in the industry surrounding data, deciphering which data matters is essential.

In this webinar, we will share how to leverage data to “seal” the leaks and produce better outcomes in patient recruitment. Specifically, we discuss how to:

  • Increase awareness among the general population who fit the inclusion and exclusion criteria
  • Select sites that support your recruitment goals
  • Decrease the burden on patients to increase participation and retention rates
Don’t miss this opportunity to find out how you can overcome the single biggest pain point in clinical trials to realize better study outcomes. Register today!To increase efficiencies and stop the “leaky”
