Investigator & site services
Investigator / Researcher Enrollment
Despite a growing number of researchers participating in clinical research studies, the cost and length of time to perform these studies is escalating and investigator reimbursement is going to continue to decline unless an effective solution is developed.
According to a white paper published in June 2002 by IBM Global Industries, a paradigm shift in clinical trial research is long overdue. The clinical trial research process needs to become more efficient and more effective; but how? In that white paper – a three tiered solution was proposed:
1) The process of identifying potentially interested patients who are appropriate for a given study needs to by automated;
2) More researchers and more research subjects are needed;
3) A successful partnership between clinical research companies and investigators is needed that ultimately reduces the site’s burden in clinical research tasks such as patient recruitment, contracts, and regulatory affairs. |
At Exodon, we create & enable the partnership between clinical research companies and the investigators through a robust network – The Validate System. This is a database platform which readily enrolls investigators and sites so that they can be placed into trials based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria provided by sponsors.
What is the VALIDATE System®?
This system validates that a site has pre-consented patients meeting any given study's inclusion/exclusion criteria virtually eliminating study screening failures.
We firmly believe in order to make the clinical trial research process more efficient, effective and rewarding to the investigator, clinical research support is required for the investigators and their staff, well before the research protocol is accepted by the investigator.
We partner with our doctors at the most critical level – their medical practice. We offer our investigators tools from paper based solutions to electronic medical records that they literally hold in the palm of their hand. These solutions enhance our doctors ability to more accurately diagnose and treat their patients, while simultaneously educating patients about clinical research, removing the time consuming and costly need for dictation; and allowing doctors and their staff to spend more time with patients and less time on administrative chores not only at the research level, but in their day to day medical practice.
As indicated above, we have an electronic version of our VALIDATE System® application that runs on any electronic medical record (EMR) platform and offers all the bells and whistles that EMRs bring to a medical practice, but without the time and effort of building tedious templates or the exorbitant costs typically associated with EMRs.
As patient records are de-identified and imported into our database the pre-consented subjects are available to participate in upcoming research. We as well as other CROs, Pharmaceutical and other study sponsors worldwide use this database to complete their studies. Exodon then brings these studies to you at no on-going costs other than a $99 a month subscription fee to those clinicians who choose to use the electronic VALIDATE System® that runs on an fully functional EMR. The practice does not have to use an EMR to enroll into Exodon's VALIDATE System® network of investigators as our affiliated sites use a variety of medical records system including Word documents, paper and other 3rd party EMRs.
The VALIDATE System® however, goes well beyond a technological application. We realize there are good reasons why so view physicians conduct clinical trial research. So Exodon and its partners offer research support services beyond automating and marketing your clinical research practice and offer if needed:
Investigator and clinical coordinator training services
Study start-up and site management
support
Contract and budget negotiation support services
Clinical coordinator services
We welcome you to come join our growing family of over 300 affiliated investigators worldwide and make clinical research a significant part of your clinical practice.
