Innovex provides nurse and other clinical educators as a part of Health Management Services (HMS), a service offering that helps healthcare practitioners and their staff improve patient outcomes for disease states by providing information that facilitates diagnosis, improves treatment regimens and enhances patient compliance.
“One of the most valuable contributions that HMS clinical educators make in a healthcare setting is enhancing a patient’s understanding of their disease and the therapies that will benefit them,” said Stewart Rosen, M.D. and Vice President, Medical Affairs, Innovex. “As with all our HMS teams, this group is demonstrating ways to enhance patient compliance that should result in improved therapeutic outcomes and quality of life for patients. Due to their extensive training, education and therapeutic expertise in this neurological therapeutic area, these clinical educators are highly regarded by the healthcare providers with whom they work.”

All told, we have deployed over 400 clinicians in support of customer-sponsored initiatives to improve the understanding, identification and treatment of a wide variety of disease states.
