NIH Clinical Center Partners With ePocrates

The NIH Clinical Center is partnering with ePocrates to accelerate the recruitment of patients into NIH clinical research studies. Using ePocrates' proprietary DocAlert messaging system, messages are delivered to the physicians' handheld devices allowing access to trial information at the point of care.

This is the first time that the NIH Clinical Center has partnered with a physician handheld network to increase patient referrals to NIH clinical research studies. Traditionally, the NIH Clinical Center recruits patients through standard patient recruitment channels, such as internal investigator referrals and media campaigns. By accessing ePocrates' physician network through the DocAlert system, the NIH Clinical Center expect to receive more qualified patient referrals and participants that complete the trial.
