Numerous surveys show that patients want their healthcare provider (HCP) aware of or involved in offering health studies. However, only an estimated 3% of HCPs participate in clinical trials. Low HCP involvement has led to a similarly low patient participation rate of less than 10%.

Patient Engagement and Study Life Cycle Management
Altura’s Patient Study Lifecycle™ system is a proven comprehensive method for identifying, engaging, processing, retaining and maintaining patients for studies. Our Patient Connect™ service includes a bilingual team that engages patients through a HIPAA-compliant process. We utilize technology such as electronic medical records, advanced patient communication systems and portals.
Healthcare Provider Engagement and Management
HCP Studies™ is a HIPAA-compliant mobile application that has been built to help engage the 97% of HCPs who do not participate in health studies such as clinical trials. HCP Studies™ provides an easy way to quickly find enrolling studies in a local area. Easier access to study information, patient transfer to study site and patient tracking leads to greater HCP participation.
Prescreening Tracking and Analytics
Altura’s Results Connect™ technology captures site-based prescreening activity and results for every call, prescreen or chart review. The data can be used by sites to adjust tactics and resources real-time to enhance performance.
