Our staff of physician investigators, certified clinical
research coordinators, internationally trained Medical Doctors,
Registered Nurses, quality assurance professionals, marketing
specialists and administrative personnel all have many years of
experience conducting clinical trials in virtually all therapeutic
areas.
Clinical Research Coordinators : We have ACRP
certified coordinators, as well as internationally trained M.D.s.
They provide the highest quality patient care and research data
through attention to detail and thorough medical knowledge.
Our professional marketing team is dedicated to fulfilling your
enrollment goals as quickly as possible. Quality enrollment and
patient retention is our commitment to you, so your study will be
completed on time and that the data will be accurate and useful.
All marketing and promotional materials are sponsor and IRB
approved.
Trained phone screeners evaluate potential patients for initial
suitability before their first appointment, saving time and money
while increasing patient satisfaction.
Patient information kits give research patients all of the
information they need about the study including their appointment
calendar, diaries, informed consent form, list of
allowed/disallowed medications, "Golden Rules of
Research," and general information about the disease being
treated in the study. This program improves patient retention,
cooperation, and care. We generate a high percentage of referral
patients this way, which reduces advertising costs.
Public relations campaigns including press releases, educational
seminars and brochures generate press coverage of studies and
promote enrollment. Our physicians are regularly featured on local
television and radio news programs discussing treatment areas in
their respective specialties.
Access to our vast patient database enables us to send direct
mail pieces to prospective patients just as a study is about to
start. Patients are listed according to ICD-9 codes for easy
access, and have been proven reliable as study patients. We often
treat several family members as patients in our studies.
Community education and involvement are priorities at Research
Across America. Every fall, before the flu season hits, our medical
staff goes out in the field to give flu shots at area businesses,
schools, and group meetings. Educational brochures and flyers are
produced in our office for distribution to patients, schools and
community centers.
Our Patient Enrollment Programs include professionally designed
advertising programs for each study. We use the following programs
for patient enrollment:
Newspaper
Radio
Television
Billboards
Direct Mail
Public relations campaigns towards local media
Community education seminars and lectures
Health Fairs
Newsletters
Internet
Social Media (i.e., Twitter, Facebook, YouTube)
