For us patients, sponsors and staff are not a fixed or merely quantitative value defined in advance by the protocol. At Asclepius our rationale is quality. We take this to mean that everybody involved in a trial should be encouraged to voice their views about how it is progressing. Giving consideration to alternative ideas or points of concern for us is not a passive activity. On the contrary it is an opportunity for us to show our staff as well as to our sponsors that we are able to understand the suggestions of others and serious about our own ability to improve our performance at all times. Setting such an example brings every player on our team right into the heart of our operations, leading to greater ongoing cohesion and focus all round on top of individual excellence.

Our take-up of the most modern technologies in data management illustrates our proactive approach. We don't limit ourselves to solving yesterday's problems. We use technology with the aim of constantly developing our motivation to provide the best data as a source of pride and satisfaction.
