Health Decisions Celebrates 20 Years of Adaptive Clinical Research
Global CRO has thrived for two decades on business platform of innovation, collaboration and efficiency
Durham, NC: March 19, 2009
Health Decisions (www.healthdec.com) celebrates 20 years of growth this year. Headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, the company pioneered the concept of agile clinical development, an advanced adaptive system that allows mid-course improvements to key trial activities, helping sponsors more efficiently manage clinical trials and shorten timelines. In the current economic recession, these services are becoming increasingly important to pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies that are looking to cut costs and increase revenue.
About Health Decisions
"While working at the Centers for Disease Control, I realized that the typical clinical trial was entrenched in tedious, manual procedures. There was, and still is, a real opportunity for improvement. So, we developed the concept of Agile Clinical Research – using adaptive processes and intelligent web-based tools to continuously monitor trends and trigger study improvements on a real-time basis."
"When we started, it was all about a lean, focused approach to doing things the right way. Our growth has always been stimulated directly by our clients’ needs, and we look forward to exploring new ways to improve their profitability and set new standards of excellence in clinical trials."
