NEW
YORK, June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Conference Forum announced today the launch of the 9th
annual CRAACO®: Clinical Research as a Care Option conference,
taking place September 16, 2024 at
the Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Philadelphia, PA.
"Integrating research with care enhances
patient choice, can improve outcomes, reduce the cost of care and
improve patient engagement," said Jeff
James, Chief Executive Officer of Wilmington Health System
and 2024 CRAACO Co-Chair.
"Embedding clinical research in the care setting can lead to
higher rates of trial participation and better health outcomes for
patients. CRAACO® examines how all the necessary stakeholders –
pharma, sites, hospitals, academia, CROs, and patients – can come
together to address how that goal can be achieved, said
Valerie Bowling, Executive Director,
Conference Forum.
The 2024 speakers will address topics primarily covering the key
touch points on the convergence journey between clinical care and
clinical research. They will also address how to prepare the next
generation of physicians for clinical research, how to help
clinical sites and community hospitals to become research-ready and
how to get more patients access to clinical trials, especially in
underserved areas.
"Clinical research as a care option is essential in the
healthcare continuum, offering alternatives when standard
treatments fail or only work for some patients. Integrating
research with care enhances patient choice, can improve outcomes,
reduce the cost of care and improve patient engagement," said
Jeff James, Chief Executive Officer
of Wilmington Health System and 2024 CRAACO Co-Chair.
Other areas covered this year are: individual patient data
return; patient perspectives on choosing to participate in clinical
trials; legislative and regulatory updates on clinical trial
diversity issues; and the evolving clinical trial partnership
models.
The 2024 companies present include:
- Boehringer Ingelheim
- Duke Regional Hospital
- Duke University School of
Medicine
- Genentech

"Clinical research is most meaningful when it can be translated
to tangible patient benefit. CRAACO brings together a diverse group
of stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem to ultimately
improve access to clinical research, because understanding and
fostering the intersection of clinical care and clinical research
is essential for advancing medicine, improving patient outcomes,
and addressing healthcare challenges effectively," said
Shalini Mohan, MD, Head, Health
Equity and Inclusive Research, Genentech and CRAACO speaker.
