Bio-Optronics, CRA partner to enhance clinical trial sites' patient recruitment capabilities

Bio-Optronics and Clinical Research Associates (CRA) have developed a strategic relationship to provide a turn-key solution for a clinical research site's patient recruitment needs, which couples Bio-Optronics' Clinical Conductor™ Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS) and Clinical Research Associates' patient recruitment offerings.

Clinical Conductor™ CTMS is a powerful enterprise workflow system for organizing the daily activities involving clinical research. Users are able to automate their regular routine to track all the necessary metrics to maintain a viable research business, create efficiencies to take on more research with the same personnel, negotiate more attractive contracts, and efficiently recruit patients. "More sites have been proactively coming to us looking for ways to recruit faster, run trials more effectively, reduce costs, and be more marketable to sponsors," says Maria Durkin, Bio-Optronics Vice President. Clinical Conductor allows sites to leverage data about protocols and patients and provides the ability to quickly identify potential study subjects within an existing patient database. "We are excited about working with CRA to further enhance clinical trial sites' patient recruitment capabilities," adds Maria.

Clinical Research Associates specializes in patient recruitment and appointment scheduling for the clinical research Industry. "Through our relationship with Bio-Optronics we can now offer our comprehensive patient recruiting services to Bio-Optronics valued clients," states Steven Oddo, CRA President. These services, coupled with Clinical Conductor's™ powerful recruitment tools, will help sites increase their business by recruiting patients into clinical trials faster and streamlining the workflow for their day-to-day needs.
