Could the Internet be the key to driving participation in your clinical research? More and more institutions and organizations are successfully using web-based software to recruit larger numbers of research participants for clinical trials and studies. Internet technology can increase recruitment numbers and enrollment, and increase the revenue to the institution when studies are filling with subjects. Anyone with Internet access can get the information they need, register, provide consent, answer a series of questions, and join a pool of potential research participants online.
In this audio conference, our speakers examine how web-based software can make patient recruitment faster and more efficient, and provide real-life examples of the positive results achieved at two leading health care institutions.
This audio conference covers:
- Attracting more potential research participants with web-based software
- Improvements in recruitment using new technology
- The benefits for the institution and the research participant
- Strategic recruitment plan development and implementation
- Successful case studies from Washington University in St. Louis and Kennedy Krieger Institute
About the speakers:
Charles Rathmann is the Director of the Recruitment Enhancement Core (REC) at Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, Center for Applied Research Sciences. The REC was developed to help principal investigators and clinical coordinators maximize recruitment and enrollment of clinical trial participants for their ongoing research portfolios. Before coming to Washington University, Charles spent nine years as a Senior Therapeutic Specialty Representative for the Neuroscience Division of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. His success in that sales and marketing role has been the backbone for the creation and implementation of the REC.
