Expanding patient access to research opportunities through novel approaches: An institution’s implementation of an opt-out, cold-contact recruitment process and methods to improve the feasibility and rigor of remote trials
TIN webinar
Tara Pittman, MA, CCRP & Jennifer Dahne, Ph.D
This webinar will describe the Medical University of South Carolina’s adoption and implementation of an opt-out, cold-contact patient recruitment policy (referred to as Patient Outreach Recruitment) allowing researchers to reach out to potentially eligible study subjects identified via the electronic health record. 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.
