Benefits of Our Partner Site Program
We employ a variety of recruitment tools and outreach channels to facilitate finding the right patients at the right time, to support delivery of effective results for sponsors.
Our approach to patient recruitment involves building relationships with investigators, communicating directly with patients, and providing the tools to identify and reach appropriate investigators and patients, for each study, with absolute precision. The diagram below explains how we stage a variety of recruitment tools and outreach channels to reach the right group of people for each study:
 |
| Benefits for Partner Sites | Advertising and Awareness | Data Mining to Evaluate Feasibility |
| Increased speed and numbers of patients recruited and retained | Adaptability is the key for success | Quintiles mines historical information to evaluate the feasibility of current protocols and optimal countries for patient recruitment |
| Intensive hands-on support, monitoring and improvement program | Recruiting and retaining patients requires more than placing advertisements | Unparalleled breadth and depth of information available |
| Improved productivity over time | Investigator team and clinical operations should be integrated into the process | Country coordinators in each region determine potential recruitment rates |
