As a sponsor, CRO or site, there are a surplus of patient recruitment companies you can turn to when you need help finding patients for your studies, and that number grows higher every day. Most of these companies offer a niche service, but very few are a full-service, global recruitment agency like ours.
With 14 years of experience managing hundreds of recruitment campaigns, we recognize that one solution is not an answer for all sites. CSSi is able to increase each site's performance by providing a variety of customized recruitment and retention services. While we deliver solutions for each site, we also focus on conveying transparency to the study team through performance metrics, allowing for the opportunity to make informed decisions each week.
As a full-service recruitment agency, our services include:
• Designing effective educational recruitment materials and enrollment tools
• Expert planning and placing traditional and digital media on your sites' behalf
• Raising study awareness through community outreach and advocacy groups
• Networking with local medical professionals to generate interest within their practice
• Comprehensive pre-screening services before sending patients to the sites for evaluation
• Study coordinator support services to ensure sites are maximizing recruitment in and around their site
Since each site has different needs, we create customized enrollment plans at the site level. Our highly-experienced Local Enrollment Specialists (former study coordinators) will work directly with the site staff to keep them motivated and focused on enrolling patients for your study.
If you would like to learn more about our years of experience and how CSSi can improve your study's enrollment, contact us!
