NICR’s goal is to bring patients closer to clinical research to improve patient engagement and outcomes. Patients gain access to the latest research and treatment opportunities, and clinical research serves to decrease the overall cost of care for both the patient and the healthcare system, as well.
Patient Care
NICR services patients like clients:
- Skilled phlebotomists who are patient-friendly and service-oriented
- Advanced scheduling of appointments and appointment reminders
- Visit follow up calls
- Patient stipends
Enhancing Patient-Site Relationships
The patient-site relationship is key to retention.
NICR builds and maintains strong relationships by
- Identifying key factors that draw patients to clinical trials
- Integrating clinical trial managers with sites
- Ensuring adequate resources for patient recruitment
- Developing patient recruitment and referral centers
- Minimizing interference with physician activities
Patient Benefits
- Clinical research offers patients access to cutting cutting-edge therapy, which could be lifesaving in addition to providing them with state state-of-the -art quality care.
- Research plays an important role in improving the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and the quality of life of the patients.
- Research has resulted in hundreds of innovations that offer an earlier diagnosis of illness, resulting in better outcomes, and minimize side effects, including less demanding administration regimes.
- Clinical research may also provide direct benefits for those patients involved in clinical trials due to patients receiving closer medical attention and better follow follow-up care.
- There is substantial evidence that participation in clinical research, irrespective of whether enrolment is in the placebo or in the treatment arm, improves health outcomes.
