Proven benefits of using a Patient Recruitment Software

Effective patient recruitment can be the determining factor in whether a clinical trial is able to successfully get off the ground. It can be difficult to approach recruitment with a wide range of methods and still remain cost-effective and timely. Methods such as traditional patient outreach, social media outreach, or relying on partner medical providers are effective but can eat into your study’s timeline and budget. In order to effectively cover as many bases as possible, using a patient recruitment software is often the best choice.


Using proven methods such as the Citrus platform to recruit patients to clinical trials helps researchers to maximize the value of their patient recruitment budget, ensures the effectiveness of their studies, and ultimately saves time with built-in patient verifiability.


Our patient recruitment services are patient-centric, meaning we prioritize informing our patients about the clinical trial process, as well as cultivating relationships with patient advocates that keep us in tune with the real-life needs of those we work with. We work to make sure patients understand the clinical trial process, and match patients to your trial through millions of data points collected on our health app network. Both of these considerations help to boost your patient recruitment numbers, and maintain higher engagement rates throughout the trial process. When patients are informed and feel confident in joining a clinical trial, they are more motivated to stay involved throughout the process.


Recruitment services that use this approach drive up recruitment rates by cultivating a pool of knowledgeable, prepared patients who know what to expect, and what they can gain from participating in your trial. This goes a long way in encouraging potential patients to join your study, while increasing the likelihood that they will remain engaged with your research -- lowering your dropout rate from day one.


This approach has been proven to improve outcomes, and ensure medical research and general health care can become more efficient and cost-effective.


Using a patient recruitment software also usually means you’ll be able to organize and manage follow-up messaging more effectively, given the option to automate these campaigns.


Our platform seamlessly incorporates customizable follow-up campaigns, making it cheaper and easier for you to remind potential patients to take the next step. Otherwise, managing these kinds of outreach campaigns manually can become time-consuming and potentially disorganized. We help you keep in touch with all of your patients in one place, with a user-friendly platform that lets you know exactly who you need to contact and when it’s time to give them that extra nudge.
