Recognizing the critical importance of acquiring and maintaining clinical trial participants, Academic Network utilizes a combination of recruitment specialists and study-specific recruitment criteria to screen potential participants for entry into our clients' studies. All call center specialists are healthcare professionals who have training in recruitment and direct experience in clinical trial management. Recruitment specialists work with our clients to develop optimally targeted promotions to create patient interest in specific clinical trials.
Academic Network provides full service Web design, hosting, content development and site optimization for our clients. Academic Network has planned for increased e-mail transactions with clients and Web chat capabilities. The most consumer-friendly contact center should include toll-free telephone options, e-mail, Web chat capabilities, fax, and US mail options. Our staff has expertise in the requirement for Health on the Internet (HON) certification and works with our clients to ensure their site becomes a credible and reliable source for health information. In addition, we develop relationships with similar organizations that will link and drive traffic to our client site-- literally building a network of access points to a site. Hosting and site optimization are other key components of our Web services.
Academic Network works with you to effectively use social media as a means of mitigating a crisis situation and improving communications with your customer base. Our social media team members have the experience to listen attentively and monitor online conversations concerning your brand. Not only can we defuse the impact of a product recall and potentially minimize adverse events; we may be able to help you "tune in" to ongoing conversations that may anticipate these events. We provide blogging assistance (we can train you or can blog on your behalf) as well as conversation management to ensure you're aware and engaged when conversations are going on about your business, your markets, and your products.
Academic Network offers a full range of call center outsourcing solutions. The Academic Network call center staff is trained in healthcare and experienced with clinical trials.
