Presentation Slides

Pdf Summary

The document outlines the significance of modernizing clinical research to align with current healthcare practices. It emphasizes the critical role clinical research plays in developing new treatments, procedures, and medical devices, while also improving diagnosis, prevention, and understanding of diseases.<br /><br />Despite its importance, traditional clinical research faces several challenges, such as difficulties in patient recruitment, limited time for physicians, lack of adequate infrastructure, high costs, and complex legal and contracting processes. These challenges necessitate innovation in how clinical research is conducted.<br /><br />To address these barriers, the document suggests several strategies. These include standardizing operating procedures and processes related to legal, regulatory, and compliance requirements. Additionally, it recommends employing an experienced clinical research team within clinics, which would facilitate training, onboarding, and continuous support for investigators throughout their research journey.<br /><br />Engaging patients through diverse communication channels is highlighted as essential for effective patient recruitment. The document advises aligning with Sponsors and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) to manage and deploy trial awards, contracts, and budgets efficiently. It proposes a Physician Partnership Model to foster collaboration between clinical researchers and healthcare providers.<br /><br />The document is part of a presentation or discussion moderated by Ana A. Mercurio-Pinto, VP of Care Transformation at MedAxiom, who emphasizes these points and provides contact information for further inquiries.
