Session will identify how to resolve financial and logistical challenges for clinical trial patients to maximize participation enrollment and retention rates
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – February 5, 2020 – Greenphire, the global leader in financial solutions for clinical trials, announced today that its Chief Commercial Officer, Wayne Baker, will present at the 12th annual Patient Recruitment and Retention Summit.
The presentation, “Overcoming Cost & Logistical Challenges to Improve Clinical Trial Patient Experience,” is scheduled for Thursday, February 6th, at 11:50 a.m. GMT, and will address the leading reasons why study participation is frequently cited as being burdensome. Baker will also provide actionable solutions to minimize patient inconveniences from transportation to reimbursements through the use of technology.
Clinical trial treatment innovation is taking place at an increasingly rapid pace across the globe, driven in part by precision medicine. While this approach presents opportunity, it exacerbates the demands placed on patients and increases the likelihood that a clinical research site could be hundreds of miles from the individual’s home. As such, it has become critical for sponsors, CROs and sites to reduce or eliminate any potential financial and logistical hardships for the patient and his or her family which could lead to drop out. In fact, a recent study found that 81% of sites say quality transportation is important for recruitment and retention purposes.
“Clinical trials are becoming more specialized, which is a step forward for science, but also often means more travel for patients and additional challenges for everyone involved. As an organization committed to continuous innovation to better serve our customers, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to the industry conversation surrounding patient and research site convenience,” explained Baker.
