Remote Consent
FORTE leadership encourages sites to examine implementing remote consenting in your site’s patient enrollment processes. Since NRG-CC005 does not require an in-person visit to enroll, FORTE sites currently consent patients using platforms such as RedCap, DocuSign, and snail mail. The highest accruing sites have remote components to the enrollment, stool collection, and blood sample collection. Additionally, patients have expressed enjoying the ease of enrolling into FORTE using remote processes like RedCap.
Many institutions have re-examined policies around remote research in the past few years to accommodate changing patient expectations. Explore implementing remote consent at your enrolling site today!
If you have an questions about implementing remote consent processes for FORTE at your site, contact forte@nrgoncology.org.
