How CROs Can Power Patient Enrollment and Retention In Virtual Trials with Proven Innovative Technology
COVID-19 has caused CROs and sites to experience profound disruptions in patient enrollment and retention.To encourage participation, reduce burden, and decrease dropout rate, CROs need proven innovative technology to ensure that participation in clinical trials can be seamlessly integrated into each patient's life.
Virtualization technologies give CROs a competitive edge by ensuring better patient centricity and safety through recruitment, enrollment, and participation.CROs delivering end-to-end, streamlined, and unified technology will dramatically improve patient recruitment and retention by delivering a seamless flow of capabilities through the patient journey.
For all its disruption, COVID-19 has, out of necessity, accelerated innovation. CROs leveraging agile technology are not only enabling patients, they are also gaining a competitive edge by changing the patient centricity paradigm.
Virtualizing technologies have a number of benefits, including:
- Removing geographic barriers to participation
- Giving patients a portal designed to help them learn about available trials and register for research in which they are interested
- Expanding channels of recruitment: digital, social media, advocacy groups, or patient registries
- Enabling virtual enrollment and participation for a more diverse set of patients, representing a broader range of ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic status.
