DIA to host Patient Recruitment and Retention Forum April 20...(CRO leadership with implications such as...),Health

Date:2/26/2009

CRO leadership with implications such as:
o   Predictable patient recruitment leading to evaluable data remaining a critical driver for successful study completion;
o   Timely delivery of new products to market as a crucial driver of a pharmaceutical company's stock valuation;
o   The significance of downsizing middle management, portfolio reduction and reallocation, and site initiation to developing and redeveloping countries.

"This unique forum will closely examine the compelling reasons for a paradigm shift in the strategic recruitment planning process, with a focus on how to move away from cost and quantity drivers to process, quality, training, and efficiency driven down through organizations from a strategic level," says Program Chairperson John Needham, Global Strategist and Chief Executive Officer, Needham and Company.

Sponsors, CROs, service providers, and clinical research team thought leaders will lead interactive group discussions to further crystallize the topics discussed in the more formal sessions.
