Segal Institute for Clinical Research Board-Certified and Board-Eligible Adult
Psychiatrists conduct Phase I-IV inpatient research studies for most adult CNS and
addiction disorders. Segal Institute's success is largely due to the large volume
of patients seen by the clinician network at its sister company,
Compass
Health Systems. Compass Health Systems is the largest
provider of mental health services in each of the communities where its practices
are located. Segal Institute's inpatient sites are located in all of the regions
where
Compass Health Systems has practices, including Atlantic Shores Hospital and
Hollywood Pavilion Hospital in South Florida; Highlands Behavioral Health System
in Denver; and Palmetto Lowcountry Behavioral Health in Charleston. All of the
Segal Institute inpatient facilities can defer to a central Institutional Review Board.
In South Florida, Compass Health Systems Psychiatrists saw more than 5,000
adult inpatients in 2008. The Compass Health practitioners have privileges in approximately
20 area hospitals and see almost 300 inpatients each day. The most common disorders
treated are depression, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, mood disorders and addiction.
Segal Institute Principal Investigators conduct inpatient studies at two psychiatric
hospitals, Hollywood Pavilion Hospital and Atlantic Shores Hospital. Both of these
sites are JCAHO-accredited and have dedicated research beds and research offices.
Each site is equipped with specialized equipment for inpatient research studies,
along with DSL lines, offices for cognitive testing, CLIA-waived lab processing
areas, private offices for consenting subjects and monitor rooms.
In Colorado,
