GNS Healthcare integrates massive quantities of patient data to build models that predict what works in healthcare, and for whom. Our models are unique in their ability to produce data-driven evidence of causation, which goes beyond correlation to reveal the underlying cause and effect relationships between treatments, patient characteristics, and clinical and economic outcomes. We deliver software tools that allow you to explore the models and rapidly produce new answers and insights into your questions.
Our analytics solutions are being used by leaders across healthcare, from pharmaceutical R&D, HEOR and marketing to payers, providers, government, and academic institutions. We empower healthcare executives to make data-driven decisions on the most important issues facing their businesses, from the individual patient level to the healthcare system level. From identifying the best intervention for an individual patient to refining benefit design, GNS helps our partners improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. www.gnshealthcare.com
The National Institute for Health Research Clinical Research Network is the clinical research delivery arm of the NHS.
Funded by government, it provides an infrastructure of research nurses and clinicians in hospitals and doctor's surgeries across England, to support the timely recruitment of patients into clinical research, including life-sciences industry studies.
The Network also works closely with industry partners to develop and implement tools and services to streamline study set-up, provide intelligence on local patient populations, clinicians and facilities, and improve the performance of commercial clinical trials to time and target. Such tools include standard costing templates and contracts, which dramatically reduce the amount of time companies spend in negotiations to conduct trials.
Last year, the Clinical Research Network delivered its highest ever number of commercial contract research studies, increased patient recruitment to commercial studies by 20% and doubled the number of studies delivered to time and target. www.crncc.nihr.ac.uk
