Altura’s Services

Patient Identification and Enrollment Through Organized Systems of Healthcare

Altura supports sponsors by providing access to organized systems of healthcare based patient populations in order to maximize study enrollment. Specialized recruitment programs revolve around our ability to mobilize organized systems of healthcare (physician participation, scheduling issues, database utilization, support staff allocation, etc.). Our service has demonstrated lower costs and faster enrollment compared to traditional patient recruitment strategies. With one study Altura was able to reduce the time to target enrollment time by 75%.

Identification of Specialized Research Sites

Based on the pool of organized systems of healthcare research sites Altura has helped build, train or enhance, Altura identifies appropriate sites based on the sponsor’s requirements. Our service is helping many sponsors in need of special patient populations, high enrollment per site, sites with PCPs and sites with specialized capabilities.
