On-Demand™ Clinical Outreach Specialists (COS)

Clinical Outreach Specialists create effective Patient Referral Networks.

Each Clinical Outreach Specialist identifies and creates sources of patient referral for a Sponsor’s Investigator/site by identifying key physicians in the community surrounding each Site. Productive investigators are not only crucial to a successful clinical trial, they are crucial to a functional Referral Network.

Clinical Outreach Specialists create custom Patient Referral Networks for individual Investigators by:

• Identification: Of Key surrounding medical practices that ordinarily interact with the Sponsor’s Investigator/Site.
• Education: Upstream providers (all types of referring physicians) about the study including patient and physician expectations
• Development: Referral logistics for each referring physician to the appropriate Investigator
• Management: Ongoing relationships with the Referral Networks to ensure Patient Compliance
