Inaugural Summit for Clinical Ops Executives (SCOPE 2010)
a huge success in Philadelphia, PA!
More than 300 executives, research scientists, CROs and others from public and private sectors convened at the Philadelphia City Center for SCOPE 2010, March 8-11, in Philadelphia, PA. This event brought together four annual conferences and short courses under the SCOPE umbrella and offered opportunity for idea sharing and cross pollination amongst clinical operations professionals from different groups and locations. Each conference featured best practice case studies and interactive discussions relevant to clinical operations experts as well as those new to the field.
SCOPE featured 4 focused short courses, more than 60 presentations and unparelled networking opportunities with participants of the following programs:
Third Annual Patient Recruitment in Clinical Trials, March 8-9, 2010
CHI’s Patient Recruitment program opened with a pre-conference short course on ‘Designing and Implementing a Clinical Enrollment’, followed by the main conference and its coverage of considerations when drafting and strategically implementing a patient recruitment and retention plan for a clinical development program.
Second Annual Electronic Data in Clinical Trials, March 8-9, 2010
CHI’s Electronic Data in Clinical Trials opened with an inclusive short course on ‘Utilization of Electronic Health Record (EHR) Data in Clinical Research’. The main conference covered the challenges related to which technologies and systems to use, measuring the ROI of technology investment, and how best to overcome the common problems with implementation.

CHI SCOPE 2010
Testimonial
For the quality of presentations, leads, and organization, I have seen fewer events more impressive than CHI’s SCOPE conference this year. We found a receptive audience, enthusiastic visitors to our exhibition booth, and engaging conversations about BBK’s latest innovations in patient recruitment. I highly recommend this event.
—Elizabeth G., Director of Public Relations, BBK Worldwide
I gleaned quite a bit of helpful information from SCOPE 2010 that will impact our recruitment and retention practices. For example, Jaclyn Larsen’s presentation taught me how to create a U.S. disease map that we are now using to ensure we have Alzheimer’s research sites in those areas of the country where Alzheimer’s is most prevalent. Secondly, I was so impressed with the presentations on Facebook and social media it encouraged me to engage in more social media avenues than I have pursued in previous clinical trials. For the last year we have gingerly entered the social media market, but now I am encouraged to dive in full speed ahead.
—Jeffree I, Sr. Clinical Trials Communications Specialist, Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study, University of California, San Diego
