Patient Recruitment Expert CSSi Tapped to Speak at Annual Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast Conference in January

CSSi President Chris Trizna to lead roundtable discussion focusing on strategies to meet difficult patient recruitment and retention goals in increasingly competitive environment

GLEN BURNIE, Md., Jan. 16, 2014  /PRNewswire/ — CSSi, the leader in patient recruitment solutions for the clinical research industry, is pleased to announce their participation in the annual Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast conference sponsored by Arena International.

Now in its 6th year, the Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast Conference is an annual conference aimed at exploring strategies to form long-term effective partnerships with solution providers, while maintaining budgets and trial deadlines. The conference will be held January 28-29 in San Francisco, CA and will offer plenary sessions, panel discussions and roundtables, while also offering a forum for in-depth discussion into current issues within vendor selection, contract negotiation and provider management. As a featured sponsor of the conference, CSSi will be leading a roundtable discussion focusing on understanding strategies to overcome enrollment and recruitment challenges in a competitive environment. CSSi will also be featured in the exhibit hall, presenting information on their innovative approach to patient recruitment and enrollment solutions.

CSSi President Chris Trizna will be hosting a roundtable discussion on January 28th at 4:30pm. Trizna describes, "In a competitive environment, it takes hard work, collaboration and preparation in order to be faster and stronger — and to ultimately recruit patients at a higher rate." The discussion will focus on how difficult protocols and competitive enrollment add up to potential challenges in meeting patient recruitment and retention goals. "We want to address how the clinical trial community can arm themselves with the right plan of action, strategies and tactics to consistently enroll their studies. Our workshop is designed so that attendees will come away with solutions they can implement immediately through our expertise in lessons learned to determine winning recruitment and enrollment tactics," explains Trizna. "Enrollment planning, in and of itself, is not complicated," shared Trizna. "Taking the time to make it happen, and committing the team to the process is often the difference between a successful study and one that does not meet its timelines or goes over budget."
