Basics About Clinical Trials Nice link to share for patients & their caregivers

Great article discussing the need for fair compensation for Clinical Trial Participants. Items that often are not considered is child care/caregiver support, travel time, and time for the participants to use e-diaries outside of the visits. The article has a link to a calculator that uses these additional parameters outside of the routine travel/accommodations/meals. "...participants globally are probably compensated between 5-20% of the estimated total cost of participation (i.e., financial impact). That means many patients will either forgo participation or decide to drop out due to the financial burden." https://lnkd.in/gFprV4Vg

In the latest #TalkClinicalTirals blog, Andrew Spanyi talks to Clinical Trials Ontario (CTO) about his experience with clinical trials as a caregiver for his wife, what he feels are the barriers to recruitment in clinical trials, why he feels a patient centric approach is important, and his advice for people interested in joining a clinical trial.

🚀 From the Lab to Life: 5 Major Developments in Clinical Trials & Community Engagement🚀 Clinical trials and community engagement are rapidly evolving, with significant advancements reshaping how trials are conducted and how patients and communities engage. Here’s a snapshot of what we cover in our latest blog post: 📌 UK: The Labour government plans to use the NHS app to improve trial recruitment while expanding the workforce by 10,000 nurses and 7,500 doctors with specialized training. 📌 EU: New regulations push for earlier data sharing to speed up access and build public trust. 📌 US: DEI initiatives face cuts, risking less diverse trials, but the FDA's Diversity Action Plan aims to boost minority enrollment. Decentralized trials and mobile research sites offer solutions in underserved areas.

The evidence is there. Waiting to adopt electronic consent is neither good for patients nor clinicians. We have to move from informed consent to informed decision-making. #econsent #informedconsent #informeddecision #neeje #cosmeticsurgery #medicalcare #patientsafety #patientexperience #patientcenteredcare https://lnkd.in/gGxCdfQX

🌟 New Blog Alert! 🌟 As a passionate advocate for health equity, I'm thrilled to share insights into the vital role of ACORN IQ Community Enrollment Navigators (CENs) in clinical trials.

The BEAMER project is about finding an innovative, simple, and effective way to better support patients and improve adherence behavior. But things will only improve if people and organizations start and speed up the adoption and implementation of innovative solutions to improve adherence levels. This is a two-part series of articles about the true impact of non-adherence to treatment, what it does to clinical trials, the benefits of adherence to treatment for patients, payers, and regulators, and how to improve adherence behavior today. Thank you Prof. Dr. med. Sabine D. Brookman-May, Bert Hartog, Frans Folkvord, and Volker Stocker for your input and helping me dotting the i's and crossing the t's. #patientadherence #patientengagement #patientrecruitment #clinicaltrials #clinicaloperations #healthcareinnovations #healthcareprofessionals #patientoutcomes #patientcentricity #clinicalcare #patientexperience #healthjourney #patientjourney #patientparticipation #regulators #healthinsurancepolicy

Being a participant during a clinical trial is far from easy. From finding the “right study” and then navigating the time commitment, financial burden, transportation challenges, coupled with a lack of support throughout the process, the challenges can get in the way of benefits. As leaders in the clinical trial industry, it is our responsibility to provide patients with the experiences they deserve. A recent article from pharmaphorum shares several reasons why amplifying the patience voice is crucial – now more than ever: https://lnkd.in/gVHy8qy6 #ClinicalTrials #PatientExperience
