Plymouth Meeting, PA : Clinical research and technology leaders from across the industry will share their data and expertise at an upcoming webinar hosted by CRF Health, a CRF Bracket company, to discuss how to improve patient centricity through electronic informed consent (eConsent).
To be held on December 13, 2018, at 11am ET (4pm London GMT), the informative webinar will share valuable insight and discuss best practices for the design, process, and presentation of eConsent in order to better support study participants and improve recruitment, retention, and data quality.
Register here – attendance is complimentary for sponsors and CROs.
Attendees of this presentation will learn how best they can achieve patient centricity through eConsent including answering key questions such as what multimedia components really matter and how they should best be designed, where to use text within eConsent and how to get team members to value a patient centric approach to improving consent. The aim of the webinar is that attendees should be able to identify which components of eConsent support patient centricity, recognize best practices for the design of an eConsent solution to support the study patient, and understand what aspects of eConsent can support recruitment, retention and compliance, with the ultimate goal of improving study outcomes.
“Most informed consent forms – certainly paper and sometimes electronic – are not patient focused and do not support the needs of the study participant,” said Bill Byrom, VP Product Strategy and Innovation, from CRF Health. “Proper design of a complete eConsent system can not only help improve the current paper document approach, but also support researchers in improving patient centricity by focusing on better understanding of how people absorb information to make an informed decision about participating in a study.”
As part of CRF Health’s commitment to sharing knowledge and best practice with the aim of improving understanding across the industry, the webinar will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to hear from a distinguished panel of industry experts including:
