ELLICOTT CITY, Md., March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Society for Clinical Research Sites (SCRS) announced today that VirTrial has joined the organization as a Global Impact Partner (GIP). SCRS' GIP Program provides a unique opportunity for sponsors, CROs and solution providers to engage with SCRS and its membership in an impactful manner. Becoming a GIP demonstrates VirTrial's commitment to clinical research sites and the role sites play in bringing new solutions to patients.

"The VirTrial leadership team has spent their entire careers working at research sites and with patients, conducting more than 10,000 trials. From this experience, our solution was developed with the needs of patients and sites in mind," said Mark Hanley, president/CEO of VirTrial. "We are honored to join SCRS as a GIP and collaborate with SCRS members to expand our dedication to site sustainability. VirTrial allows sites to conduct remote visits with patients using their own mobile devices.  Reducing the number of in-person visits creates efficiencies and reduces burden on both patients and sites."

"VirTrial's virtual care platform provides much-needed ease for sites and patients alike as they navigate the challenges inherent to study visits," said SCRS VP of global business partnerships, Sean Soth. "By becoming an SCRS GIP, VirTrial is demonstrating their commitment to the global site community with a unique approach of in-clinic and virtual visits.
