Clinical Trial Excellence: Superior Investigator Recruitment, Relationship Management and Clinical Communications Underlie High-Performance Clinical Studies.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Investigator recruitment, relationship management and clinical trial communications are cornerstones of excellence in clinical operations. New research conducted by Best Practices, LLC - a global leader in benchmarking research for the Life Sciences - details best practices in clinical investigator recruitment, relationship management and communications that drive superior clinical trial management.

Best practice research findings detail how clinical operation leaders shrink study times, reduce costs, improve study quality, and move development-stage products more rapidly toward the marketplace. Research metrics, process insights and executive interviews probe three operations required for high performance: 1) recruiting high-performing investigators, 2) clinical investigator relationship management systems, and 3) best practices in communicating the value of clinical trials to potential investigators.
