Austin, Texas, May 24, 2018 (Business Wire) -
Elligo Health Research
, which improves clinical trial access by engaging the 97 percent of physicians currently not offering clinical research to their patients, has acquired
ePatientFinder’s
Clinical Trial Exchange technology platform and referring practice network, which is the largest of its kind. This acquisition will enhance Elligo’s trial matching process by incorporating ePatientFinder’s technology platform. Using this platform, Elligo will streamline patient identification and feasibility through automation using electronic health record (EHR) data within Elligo’s network of providers. “We believe this is an important strategic opportunity for Elligo to expand our technology and network growth capabilities,” said
John Potthoff
, PhD, CEO of Elligo Health Research. “ePatientFinder provides a technology platform and partnership ecosystem that will enable us to automate our EHR data analytics capabilities and expand our network of Research Ready™ sites to further benefit physicians, patients and sponsors.” Elligo implements its
Goes Direct™
approach to provide physicians with the personnel, procedures, technology and infrastructure to conduct trials in
Research Ready™
sites. This makes clinical trials more efficient and cost-effective, allowing patients to gain access to treatment options, enabling physicians to avoid the expenditure and effort of managing in-house infrastructure, and making it easier for sponsors to bring new therapies to market faster.
