More Hay on the Haystack Won’t Help You Find the Needle

May 2nd, 2012 by Brian

Gathering information is an important part of any decision-making process. In the era of web searches and social media, we all have more forums than we can handle for seeking out information on whatever topic interests us. While this availability of information and opinion is valuable, there comes a point where you can have too much of a good thing.

To put it another way, there comes a time to decide what you want. At a certain point, what do you care if someone else likes the white one when you like the black one? And yet, if you keep looking, you will keep finding information and opinions that could prolong your own decision-making process. More hay on the haystack won’t help you find the needle. So, how do you find your needle?

  1. Take a simple inventory of what you really need or want. (Your needle.)
  2. Prioritize those features that will give you immediate results.
  3. Trust yourself. Is anyone more of an expert in what works for you, than you? Read More…

Ten members of Team Forte participated in the 31st Annual American Cancer Society Run/Walk 2012 at Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday, April 21. The event featured 5K and 10K courses.

Jon Bake, Software Engineer at Forte and Team Captain at the event, commented that the focus was to raise funds to support cancer research. “As a team, we raised more than $850,” he says. “That’s what this event is really about, coming together with the community to support a great cause.”

Fellow Team Forte member, Liz Brown, Project Manager, shared how the race was special for her. “On the last hill of the run, with my legs burning, all I could think of was how my friend never gave up during his fight with cancer,” she said. “His spirit not only helped me up the last hill, but also reminds me every day of the important things in life. I love that at Forte we can come together as a team to support something greater than any one of us individually.”

The event raised more than $35,000 for the American Cancer Society.

A Successful Track Record for Patient Recruitment Improves Chances for Site Selection

April 24th, 2012 by Forte Research Customer Experience Services

Recruitment history factors heavily into sponsor and CRO selection of sites for upcoming studies. Given the importance of this very measurable statistic, it is important for sites to stay on top of this metric. Sites need to identify what their capabilities are and manage their performance in this area. A good way to improve or maintain a healthy recruitment track record is through the use of a patient database with easily accessible reporting features in order to determine the site’s ability to reach qualified patients before applying for a given study.

In a recent interview in the April 2 CenterWatch Weekly newsletter, Nicolas Cindric, CEO of PharmaSeek, talks about their six-step process for evaluating sites wanting to join their network. Of course, the site’s recruitment history tops the list of their criteria and the CRO tracks site performance in this area from study to study.

Successful sites approach patient recruitment with a “less-is-more” approach. These sites don’t take just any trial. Instead, they focus on the studies for which they know they will be able to accrue subjects. Read More…
