Riding In Cars With Researchers

Treat the patient, not the data point. If you do this, you will have better quality data in your research trials. You will have better quality adverse event profiles. The adverse events that you document on your patients will be far more likely to be truthful and accurate than if you do otherwise. The patients that you do early terminate, or patients that you screen fail, will be far more appropriate to have been early terminated in a trial or to screen fail. We need to treat these data points differently in research than we do today. We need to treat them more like we do in normal healthcare.
