Introduction
www.ISRreports.com ©2014 | CRO Quality Benchmarking — Phase IV Service Providers (2014) 6
Introduction
Welcome to ISR’s 2014 CRO Quality Benchmarking - Phase IV Service Providers report� This report marks the sixth edition of this study and, though the study design is revisited and refreshed each year to account for evolution within the industry, the impetus for performing this research remains the same� Over time, Industry Standard Research has accumulated a wealth of knowledge around service quality and CRO performance� Understanding and utilizing this information allows stakeholders within the industry to make informed decisions when choosing a CRO for Phase IV services�
ISR knows that selecting a CRO isn’t easy� There is a myriad of factors to evaluate for each CRO being considered� Does the provider have the necessary therapeutic expertise? Will the trial be completed on time and within budget? Does the provider have sufficient knowledge about local markets and regulatory environments? Without prior experience with a provider, purchasers of CRO services are often forced to rely on incomplete or biased assessments of CRO performance passed on through word of mouth from peers within the industry�
In the CRO Quality Benchmarking - Phase IV report, ISR provides the data necessary to answer these questions – and many more – with confidence� 103 decision-makers have weighed in with their CRO selection criteria and outsourcing behaviors� They have provided feedback on 224 recent service encounters across 24 Phase IV CROs� Nine providers have received detailed profiles�
Not only does this report enable more educated purchases of CRO services, it also allows Phase IV service providers to get a behind-the-scenes look at customers’ perceptions of their performance� Providers can determine areas of strength and understand where they may need to close the gap relative to competitors� As they say, knowledge is power� Having a grasp on customer beliefs, attitudes, and experiences will help CROs effectively promote their strengths and improve areas in which they are falling short�
