Objective of This Webinar
The webinar will provide results and analyses from several different surveys examining the key questions of three critical operational aspects that affect sites today.
Results will be presented from various site surveys conducted throughout 2010. Surveys were conducted separately by Greenphire and ePharmaSolutions as part of a market research initiative to understand issues relating to site selection, funding of patient recruitment activities, and management of patient stipends.
Specific results to be presented include:
- Site selection: How are sites mainly learning about trial opportunities and how effective are they in developing new opportunities for sites?
- Patient Recruitment: How do funding and reimbursement models employed by Pharma companies affect the ability of sites to effectively deploy local patient recruitment tactics?
- Stipend Management: Are there ways to improve patient centricity, avoid regulatory risk and increase operational efficiency in the management of patient stipends?
The presentation will include a handout of the slides, polling questions, and an audience question-and-answer session.

- Recognize two specific deficiencies in the conventional site relationship managements models and identify one key area of focus for remediation
