At Clinical Nursing ApS, we offer clinical trials in the patient’s own home. Clinical trials in the house can bring great benefits to Sponsors. One of the benefits is, among other things, a higher retention rate, as there is a strong focus on trust and security. At the same time, our Clinical Trial Coordinators can individualize the patient’s course based on preferences and daily life.

Here, you can see an overview of the benefits of clinical trials in the home:

• Better patient retention
• Increased safety for the patient
• Successful communication
• Reduces time and hassle
• Valid data
• Patient compliance with protocol
• Increased understanding of the patient’s environment
• Cost-effectiveness

Below, you can read more about the benefits.

Patient retention

At Clinical Nursing ApS, we have many years of experience providing nursing care in patients’ homes. This means that we can ensure a higher degree of retention among patients. When patients have the opportunity to participate in trials without disrupting their daily routines, they are more likely to continue in the process. This gives Sponsors more valid results and reduces dropouts. Continuity is especially crucial in long-term studies to ensure the best results.

At Clinical Nursing ApS, we offer flexible solutions. This involves home visits throughout Denmark to minimize the burden on patients. By creating a customized experience for patients, we not only increase satisfaction but also their trust throughout the trial period.

Increased patient safety

Our Clinical Trial Coordinators observe the patient in their own home. In this way, they can detect challenges and side effects that may otherwise be difficult to identify in clinical trial sites. Home observations make it possible to collect data in the patients’ familiar surroundings. This provides a more accurate picture of the patient’s health status throughout the trial.

According to the protocol, procedures in Clinical trials are carried out at home, such as measuring pulse, blood pressure and blood sugar. In addition, the close follow-up from our Clinical Trial Coordinators creates reassurance for the patient. Both the patient and their relatives have the option of quick support and guidance throughout the process. At Clinical Nursing ApS, we strengthen the patient’s trust in the treatment.

Successful communication

A home visit creates a relaxed atmosphere. It also promotes better communication between the patient and the nursing staff. The patient will automatically feel more comfortable asking questions and sharing concerns. Compared to the environment at Site, many patients experience less stress and more peace when the dialogue takes place at home.

This approach also allows our Clinical Trial Coordinators to observe the patient’s everyday life and identify factors in the home that may affect their health. The increased accessibility makes room for a personal and empathetic dialogue. A closer relationship and better understanding of the patient’s needs and preferences contribute to an effective trial.

Reduced time and hassle

By conducting clinical trials in the patient’s own home, the patient avoids spending time and energy traveling to the Site. This is a great advantage, especially for patients who live far from trial sites such as Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen or Skejby in Aarhus. At the same time, it is an advantage for patients who have physical limitations that make transportation difficult.

By offering clinical trials in the home, we also reduce the risk of the stress that often accompanies repeated hospital visits. At the same time, the patient is allowed to better adapt the trial activities to their daily lives. This approach makes clinical trials more patient-friendly.

Valid data

At Clinical Nursing ApS, we observe the patient in their own home. In this way, our Clinical Trial Coordinators can collect more accurate data about the patient’s condition.

Home observations also allow us to detect subtle changes in the patient’s behavior or surroundings. For example, nursing staff can note whether medication is stored correctly or whether there are any risk factors in the home. This detailed data is invaluable for research.

Patient compliance with protocols

At Clinical Nursing ApS, we make it easier for patients to follow the study protocols. Through home visits, we help them remember and fill out medication schedules or keep diaries. In addition, our working procedure ensures that any errors or missing data are reduced. This also maintains the integrity of the protocol. Our Clinical Trial Coordinators adapt the visits to the patient’s individual needs and daily routines so that participation is as gentle as possible.

Increased understanding of the patient’s environment

Home visits allow our Clinical Trial Coordinators to observe how the patient’s home environment affects their health. This is particularly relevant in studies that deal with conditions such as asthma, allergies, or skin disorders. For example, the nursing staff can identify possible triggers such as dust, mold, pets, or poor air quality. These factors can otherwise be difficult to detect outside the patient’s everyday life.

Our Clinical Trial Coordinators can also assess how the patient uses assistive devices and takes medication. Based on these observations, the nursing staff can provide concrete advice for improvements that can help optimize the patient’s being compliant with the protocol.

The deeper insight from the home visits also gives sponsors a better understanding of how social and environmental factors affect the cause of the disease. This contributes to the development of more effective and targeted studies.

Cost-effectiveness

Clinical Nursing ApS reduces the overall costs associated with clinical trials. Through home visits, patients save on transportation costs, parking costs, and time away from daily obligations. This makes it easier and more accessible for patients to participate in the trials.

For the sponsoring organizations, home visits also mean savings, as the need for extensive infrastructure at Sites is reduced. Waiting facilities and additional staff to handle patient flow are less necessary. Clinical Nursing ApS makes it possible to conduct the trials as cost-effectively as possible, without compromising on either data quality or patient care.
