MERIS RETENTION

MERIS Retention provides direct communications with patients during their participation in a clinical trial. This maximizes the quality of trial data, improves compliance and retention, and reduces drop-out rates.

Dropout rate reduction

To reduce dropout rates, MERIS Retention provides consistent communication with participants beginning at screening and through study completion. Participants receive pre-visit checklists, details about upcoming visits, and satisfaction surveys. The communication consists of an organized series of messages that are customized for each study, which are delivered to enrolled participants through a text message, email, or both, depending on their preference. The participant’s level of engagement with the content delivered to them and any change in satisfaction of participating in the study is tracked and documented.

The Retention Solution improves the experience of study coordinators by reducing outbound communications to trial participants and providing escalation about participants who may be at risk of dropout. It is integrated with MERIS Analytics to assure complete visibility into potential barriers to participant retention.
