The reasoning that lead to the use of this approach will be explained and the development of the implementation workflow and patient communication surrounding the process will be outlined. In addition to describing the Patient Outreach Recruitment process, this webinar will also showcase REDCap tools, developed at MUSC, to improve both the feasibility and rigor of remote trials. These tools focus on increasing representativeness of participant samples enrolled in clinical trials as well as decreasing the incidence of fraud.
