The Segal Institute for Clinical Research recruitment team is capable of
enrolling subjects quickly and efficiently. Our alliance
with
Compass Health Systems is our most powerful method of enrolling subjects.
Other recruitment strategies include advertising efforts such as television,
radio, direct mail, mass transit, and newspapers. Another extremely effective
strategy for reaching enrollment goals is targeting specific populations,
such as the Hispanics residents in South Florida or the veterans in South Carolina.
To date, Segal Institute's extensive HIPAA-compliant patient database has grown
to over 20,000 patients. |
