Is the road to clinical trial participation unnecessarily complicated? In our latest podcast, Megan Liles addresses this critical issue. 🙏 A big thank you to Megan for joining us on the podcast and: - Sharing her insights on making clinical trials more accessible and patient-centric - Highlighting the challenges patients face when navigating the clinical trial space 🔎 One thing we talked about is how patients look for trials: - Platforms like clinicaltrials.gov are often too complex for people to navigate - This complexity ends up unintentionally deterring patient participation 💡Takeaway: Despite calls for patient centricity, it's almost like we don't want patients to participate because we put all these barriers in place. Megan's perspective highlights the need for improving access to trials, and making it easier for patients. Check out the full episode.

Why is length of stay so important? Here are four reasons: ➡ It is an indicator of quality care. ➡ It reflects care accessibility. ➡ It is a patient safety measure. ➡ It has direct financial outcomes. On The Better Care Podcast, Lee Ann Liska, COO of Vanderbilt University Medical Center Adult Hospital, explains how effectively managing and reducing length of stay can better optimize the patient experience and maximize resource utilization.

Invaluable practical tips on self-advocacy for anyone managing a chronic or complex condition, not just IBD!

I'm often asked how I ended up at a technology company as a nurse. Below is why... Most patients don't have the option of participating in a clinical trial. That means, most people don't have access to a potential breakthrough or life saving treatment when they need it, even if one is available. Changing that fact is what I've dedicated my career to as a nurse. I had the experience of working in a top Neuro ICU as a staff nurse and then a clinical research nurse when a procedure called a thrombectomy, which can now save millions of lives a year (link below), was first approved. A year before I was enrolling patients into these trials, I was literally body bagging patients with the same diagnosis on a somewhat consistent basis. It was as terrible as you can imagine it to be. While my trial patients were being saved, the majority of patients also experiencing similar strokes at the same time were dying because of their lack of access. Few of my trial patients came from rural areas or were minorities. Seeing how my trial patients starting living, many with almost normal lives again, because of these thrombectomy procedures changed me forever. The resources we needed to pull off those early thrombectomy trials were enormous. On my own, I spent hundreds of additional hours beyond the clinical care team managing a single trial participant. This obviously does not scale across the healthcare system. But, it doesn't have to be this way. We can simplify trials of the future. Technology is critical to enable standards, efficiencies, seamless information sharing, automation of processes and to allow physicians, nurses and clinical care teams to embed clinical trials into their standard practice. Expanding patient access is not possible with the complicated mess of clinical trial operations we have going on today. We have to de-complicate trials in order to do this. The mission of Veeva to make trials more efficient, and therefore accessible to more patients, could not be more personal for me. Committing to this mission is a big reason why I wake up every morning. #CRAACO #patientsdeservemore #committed (thrombectomy story: https://lnkd.in/eggAwvAa)
