The challenge: For a variety of reasons, patient recruitment is becoming more complex. Competition for patients across trials is rising, tight recruitment and enrollment timelines add pressure and patient expectations are evolving and growing. To add to this, sponsors often lack visibility into the patient recruitment process and patient recruitment progress. What does this complexity lead to?
- Longer recruitment periods and delays in patients receiving the investigational product that they are seeking
- Inflated operational costs due to logistical issues and the juggling of diverse recruitment channels
- Loss of patient interest — they may be deterred by complex procedures and perceived burdens as they learn more about what a trial entails
The goal: So how can data visibility be enhanced? And how does that ultimately improve patient recruitment for sponsors, for sites, and, most importantly, for patients?

What attendees will learn during this webinar:
- How supply chain management principles can apply to aspects of patient recruitment to improve the core process. While, of course, patients are not products or services, these principles can help solve existing processes that are fragmented and overly expensive.
- The expert speaker will provide an overview of how these principles can directly apply to certain areas of patient recruitment. These principles encompass understanding and meeting patient needs, collaborating with the right partners, optimizing both processes and services and determining how to identify and adapt to changing recruitment needs.
- They will discuss the big challenge when it comes to deploying supply chain management principles: integration and visibility. On a single trial, there are usually multiple site and sponsor interfaces, breaking up the flow of recruitment information and insights. These disparate systems, as well as the need to maintain patient confidentiality, contribute to that lack of sufficient visibility for the sponsor.
- Lastly, they will showcase how increasing visibility across patient recruitment processes and progress increases recruitment rates while reducing extra costs and resource needs. For example, one of the sponsors in particular was able to increase patient recruitment rates by 20 percent when they implemented supply chain management principles in their patient recruitment plan.
