DrugDev Teams with CISCRP and SCRS to Present Educational Webinars Highlighting the Patient-Friendly Benefits of eConsent
Philadelphia PA and London UK (PRWEB) June 13, 2017 -- This month, DrugDev makes the case for continued sponsor adoption of eConsent solutions through webinars with The Center for Information and Study on Clinical Trial Participation (CISCRP) and the Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS). Experts will provide background on the purpose of eConsent and the ability for eConsent to improve patient engagement and comprehension.
Statistics show an average of 18% to 30% of patients enrolling in a clinical study will drop out, with at least 13% of drop-outs attributed to patient misunderstanding of consent expectations and the clinical trials process. This sad statistic is costly yet preventable, and these webinars will demonstrate how a patient-focused consent process can reduce the number of drop outs and improve consent effectiveness for all including investigators, sponsors, sites – and most importantly, patients.
The CISCRP webinar is focused on patients, and the SCRS webinar on sites. Both webinars will provide information for stakeholders interested in improving patient satisfaction. Learn more and register for the sessions below.
