Patient Retention Philosophy

Our initial focus for patient retention is the stress the importance of the patients' commitment to compliance throughout the course of the research study. We understand how valuable our patients' time is and want them to be fully aware of the requirements involved when they come in for the initial visit with us. 

Secondly, frequent communication with the patient is crucial. Patients will routinely receive appointment reminders the day before each scheduled visit. They are also reminded of any special instructions for that visit including reminders for returning study medications, fasting before an office visit, supplying medical records, and returning diaries. 

Finally, we make every effort to make our patients feel appreciated during the time they spend with us, and let them know we value the time, dedication, and commitment they have contributed to the clinical trial process.

Connecting Participants With Clinical Research Opportunities​​
At Solaris Clinical Research, we work to connect individuals with clinical research opportunities that may be a good fit for their health and interests.

Our recruitment efforts may include community outreach, digital advertising, social media, referrals, and other outreach initiatives. Individuals who express interest are contacted by our research team to learn more about the study and determine whether they may meet the initial eligibility requirements.

Study participation is always voluntary. Our team provides information about each study so that individuals can make an informed decision about whether participation is right for them.
