Patient Engagement & Recruitment

Helping you enroll and support the right participants, without the overwhelm.

A Patient-Centered Approach to Research

Successful clinical research begins with effective patient engagement. SAON helps your site identify, enroll, and retain qualified study participants through practical strategies and hands-on support. Our approach is designed to fit seamlessly into your existing clinical workflows while maintaining the highest ethical standards and protecting patient trust.

As your Integrated Research Partner, we handle the behind-the-scenes complexity so that you and your team can focus on delivering great care to participants—before, during, and after the study.

How SAON Supports Your Site

Tailored Recruitment Strategies

We collaborate with your team to develop study-specific recruitment plans that reflect your patient population, clinical focus, and available resources. Whether it’s referral outreach, digital campaigns, or in-practice workflows, we align recruitment methods with what works for you.

Prescreening and Eligibility Support

SAON assists with prescreening protocols and tools to ensure you’re identifying eligible patients efficiently and accurately. We help implement best practices that reduce screen failures and improve enrollment rates.

Informed Consent Guidance

We support your staff in conducting informed consent conversations that are thorough, compliant, and patient-friendly. We provide informed consent templates that ensure the process is documented in a compliant manner. We work with your staff to ensure participants understand what to expect and feel confident about their involvement.

Participant Retention Planning

We work with your site to establish processes that keep participants engaged throughout the study, including appointment reminders, regular check-ins, and clear communication about next steps. We make it easy for patients to stay involved.

Patient Experience Tools and Templates

From welcome packets and study FAQs to feedback surveys and exit materials, SAON equips your site with patient-focused tools that enhance trust, satisfaction, and retention—while also supporting data quality and compliance.
