In March, 2008 the company announced its Contract Research Organization
(CRO) exceeded performance expectations over the previous 12 months. ACORN's
CRO provides a full-range of research services to sponsors, from clinical
trial design to site selection to the results phase with bioanalysis and
findings presentation. ACORN's member network provides core strength to CRO
operations and is recognized for its exceptional recruitment of minority trial
participants at more than double the national average.
With the company's recent announcement that its Oncology Data Warehouse
accumulated nearly 50 million data observations from over 110,000 oncology
patients in its data warehouse, ACORN(TM) is poised as a leader in providing
reliable information solutions to payers, financial institutions,
pharmaceutical / biotech companies, and community oncology practices.
Additionally, ACORN's accrual of over one million comprehensive physical
and psychological cancer patient assessments obtained via PACE(TM) (Patient
Assessment Care and Education) and continued market uptake of Guardian EDC(TM)
(web-based electronic data capture) demonstrates its continued leadership in
capturing unique electronic data into a single platform for easy access across
the full range of data elements and conducting scientific analysis to generate
reliable information solutions in the oncology industry.
Analytical data from ACORN's oncology data repository has been presented
at many major oncology-related conferences and published in peer-reviewed
medical journals worldwide. Furthering the field of oncology health
informatics, ACORN's Oncology Data Warehouse has been used in numerous
projects that address quality of care, patients' quality of life, overall
health outcomes and the cost of care.
Senior-level executives will be available to discuss ACORN's Oncology Data
Warehouse, CRO services, Guardian EDC(TM), and network of community oncology
practices in Booth # 239 at DIA's 44th Annual Meeting in Boston, MA, June
22-25, 2008. For additional information visit www.ACORNresearch.net or contact
