	Available to qualifying member sites domestically and abroad as a part of the SCRS Member Affinity Program (MAP), member sites now have access to the following services:

		Stand out from other sites by creating a premium profile;

		Engage patients on the ratings and reviews platform in clinical trials;

		Monthly analytics report provided on patient experience data to identify barriers to participation and reduce dropout.

	“TrialScout’s patient experience platform is focused on empowering site success and recognizing site excellence,” said CEO Dr. Irfan Khan. “SCRS member sites are the very sites we feel are best suited to benefit from TrialScout’s ability to enhance the patient experience in clinical research.”

	“Through TrialScout, SCRS member sites will be able to gain a deeper understanding into how they are perceived by their communities and patients, and will have access to a new means to showcase their capabilities with the sponsors and CROs they work with,” said SCRS VP of global engagement, Dan Milam. “We are thrilled to add TrialScout’s patient engagement and retention platform as our second MAP offering as an additional way to enhance site sustainability.”
