Healthcare software company Bio-Optronics and Clinical Research Associates (CRA) have developed a strategic relationship to provide a 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 an enterprise workflow system for organizing the daily activities involving clinical research. Users can automate their regular routine to track the necessary metrics to maintain a viable research business, create efficiencies to take on more research with the same personnel, negotiate 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,” Bio-Optronics Vice President Maria Durkin said. 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. CRA specializes in patient recruitment and appointment scheduling for the clinical research industry.
