Our research team works together closely to track and report trends, monitor quality and manage patient studies. The research coordinators facilitate patient enrollment in studies and manage their participation according to ethical, regulatory and protocol specific requirements. They carry out the necessary administrative activities to maintain regulatory and sponsor-site communication.

In addition, they provide all members of the health care team with the necessary aids and information on protocol requirements for specific patient studies.

The data coordinators perform retrospective review of each patient's medical record. This assists in tracking trends and monitoring quality of the program. The results of the analysis of this data are periodically released in newspapers such as Newsday and the New York Times. These statistics directly impact the reputation of the individual physician and the facility.

LIJ is a leading participant in numerous multi-center clinical trials, enabling us to provide the most current and comprehensive patient care.
