PRACTICAL WAYS TO IMPROVE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE
IN CLINICAL TRIALS!

Treating clinical research as a viable
healthcare option presents benefits to
patients, physicians, and the broader research
community. This approach helps to foster more
patient-centric studies and increases the
diversity of patients with access to clinical
trials.

For too long, clinical trials have been
disconnected from the care provided by
physicians, operating as a completely separate
industry. As a result, doctors are often unaware
of available clinical trials, which
means they can't effectively offer clinical
trial options to help their patients. That's
why professionals are working to improve
access to clinical trials for patients through
the deployment of clinical research as a care
option (CRAACO) within partner health systems.
This approach helps to foster more
patient-centric studies and increases the
diversity of patients with access to clinical
trials.

LET'S LOOK AT THE BEST WAYS TO IMPROVE PATIENT
EXPERIENCE IN CLINICAL TRIALS

• CONSIDER PATIENT EXPERIENCE DURING STUDY DESIGN
• You heard that it's the little things that make
  a difference. When it comes to designing the
  patient experience, this statement is very much
  true. While a clinical trial designs, there are
  several
• minute details involved in setting up. So, make
  sure to focus on taking a holistic look at the
  task when determining procedures to be included
  in a protocol.

SUPPORTING PATIENT-CENTERED CARE
Health outcomes research can also help to empower
patients. For instance, cost and outcome data
gathered on different clinicians, facilities,
and interventions can help consumers make
educated decisions on who they want to perform
their care, and in what setting, and in which
procedures they want to undergo. As patient
satisfaction is becoming an increasingly
important element in reimbursement structures,
so is capturing the patient experience adequately
and offering information patients can use to
partner with medical providers to become more
involved in their own care decisions.

SOLICIT PATIENT INPUT ON YOUR STUDY PROTOCOL
Some patients see clinical trials to possibly
help themselves and, more importantly, also to
help others in the future. Others see clinical
trials as their only hope for treatment and will
agree to anything for even the chance to be
involved in the clinical trial. P hysicians in
clinical research must consider the patient a
partner in research and the future of their
product. Without this crucial step, sponsors may
find themselves back at square one with a trial
that cannot be conducted the way it intended
and, unfortunately, is not conducive to gathering
the necessary data.
