Overview

Injury Care Research is a dedicated research clinic located in the fastest growing city in the Northwest — Boise, Ida. Injury Care Research is the leading clinical research site for analgesic research in the Treasure Valley, conducting phase 1 to 4 research studies.

In 2008, Dr. Richard Radnovich knew that by offering patients of his private practice, Injury Care Medical Center, the chance to participate in ground-breaking clinical research he would enhance the level of care he provided and also develop new therapies that could lead to helping his entire medical practice and field. He reached out to Jill Heinz, an experienced clinical researcher, and Injury Care Research was started.

Since 2010, Injury Care Research has been dedicated to helping pharmaceutical and device companies find new therapies to help patients better manage their healthcare. We are dedicated to providing cutting edge therapy that can assist in managing patient’s chronic medical conditions today and for a lifetime. To ensure quality we also have a comprehensive internal audit and QA program.

We also understand that quick study start-up and rapid recruitment are key to successful trials. We have a 72-hour turnaround time for regulatory documents, and clinical trial agreements are typically executed within seven days. We do not need a finalized CTA in place to complete regulatory documents. Strategically competitive and consistently high enrollers, we are known to be effective in our approach to clinical trials. Having a dedicated recruitment specialist, conducting thorough database reviews and utilizing TV, radio, print and online media have made our recruitment efforts successful. We are also known for our strong community ties through health fairs and alliances with various local foundations and clinician referrals. We have met or exceeded study enrollment goals on 88 percent of all studies conducted to date. Our practice of text and email messaging to all participants contributes to rapid subject enrollment. Once enrolled, participants receive appointment reminders through automated text messaging
