The WM RRDN ROST Team have supported studies recruiting in Primary Care settings as their core business for the last 6 years. Over that time we have received some great feedback on the service given and the success of the Health Informatics development provided in terms of supporting each study to recruit successfully
This section of the Digital Hub focuses on some of those success stories
Case study - The Medal Trial
Type of request: Health Informatics development to support opportunistic recruitment
Health Informatics tool provided: EMIS Protocol (Pop-up)
PRIDES Case Study - Academic Pop-up request - MEDAL (1).pdf
'Without these solutions, this innovative trial would not be deliverable and certainly not in a primary care setting'
Case study - The COAT study
Type of request: Health Informatics development to support opportunistic recruitment / GP site support
Health Informatic tool provided: EMIS Protocol (Pop-up) for a study from outside of our region
PRIDES Case Study - The COAT study (PRIDES Hub support) - 19.02.25 (3).pdf
'Neither the Emis team or the IT team had been able to assist with this and we were therefore not recruiting efficiently at all. We are very grateful to Lucy for her friendly, professional, and knowledgeable support'
