In-home services are proving to be of true value in clinical research, improving patient recruitment by reducing patient burden and reaching more diverse patient populations. As we look to the future of clinical trials, shifting the paradigm to make them more patient centric and efficient, home-based services promise to be an important component in delivering on this mission.
But not everyone is convinced. Investigators may be concerned about losing the relationship with the patient due to less face-to-face contact, site staff may be worried about dealing with changes in process and different technologies and internal study stakeholders may be tempted to revert to more traditional models.
In this webinar we explore the challenges and concerns of key stakeholders and how you can overcome these with tried and trusted methods to deliver the best experience and outcomes for patients, while keeping trials on-track.
Participants will learn the following during the presentation:
- Building the case for In-Home Services in your trial
- Decreasing burden on the patient with optionality
- The ripple effect – supplemental hidden benefits – family, caregivers
- Therapeutic areas particularly relevant for services
- Diversity in patient populations
- Patient centric protocol design
- What to consider at the outset of the trial to minimise disruption, delays and protocol amendments
- Increasing site support for successful operations and positive relations
- Communication and training planning to support sites
- Connecting in-home healthcare professionals with site staff
- Ensuring transparency for investigator orversight and connection
- Measuring success
- Metrics to put in place to measure utilisation and report on outcomes
- Patient retention
- Patient recruitment
- Diversity & Inclusion
