Patient Recruitment

It all starts with a strong database

RCR uses the Clinical Conductor clinical trial management system for managing the recruitment and progress of clinical trial volunteers through each trial. Now used at over 1,200 sites worldwide, the software was originally developed in collaboration with Rochester Clinical Research to meet our recruitment needs. Our CTMS database contains well over 45,000 patients and continues to grow.

Clinical Affiliation

After our staff, our database is our greatest asset. Consisting of over 45,000 patients, and counting we look to the database first whenever a partner approaches us about a new trial. Occasionally, we are able to fill a trial entirely from the database.

Our staff of in-house recruiters work full-time to keep our database up to date. In addition to our recruitment team, our marketing team sends targeted messaging to help constantly bring in new faces to RCR.

Our Recruitment Success Factors

• Rochester Clinical Research fills trials on schedule. This is our mantra. It requires dedicated recruiters and excellent marketing — all process-driven, thoughtful and disciplined. We leave nothing to chance.
• Rochester Clinical Research succeeds because of its local ties. We have a strong, widely recognized brand and reputation and a database of over 45,000 regional volunteers who trust us. Many of them have taken part in past trials. We also maintain great relationships with the local media.
• Rochester Clinical Research writes a marketing plan for every study. Lack of coordination and effort leads to waste and a less than optimal performance. We target, carry-out and measure all marketing and recruitment efforts.
