Retention

Clinical studies often create an extra burden, both for the website and for patients. Website staff, who cannot devote full attention to your study, often cannot ensure optimum implementation of that study or optimum recruiting. Link2Trials can help to minimise this burden, both for the website and for patients.

House calls

Many clinical studies have various visiting times for participants. In most protocols, website visits can be partially replaced by house calls. Link2Trials has experienced, trained research nurses who make house calls. This results in:

Better recruiting: Participants are more readily inclined to take part in a study because it reduces the burden of having to travel to appointments.
Better retention: Because the impact of the study on participants is much less, there will be far fewer dropouts.

Extra website resourcing (extra nursing staff at the website)

Link2Trials could staff the site with additional experienced, trained research nurses to support site staff in implementing the study - both administrative support (e.g. patient pre-selection and CFR input) and study support (e.g. making study house calls). With this addition to the site, the study will go smoothly, with faster and better recruiting, retention and implementation of the study.
