Research at MedStar During COVID-19

During these unprecedented times, we are all individually and organizationally challenged.  Below is a graphic that has been circulating in social media that I really like because it helps describe the different emotions and attitudes we are all have.  We all want to learn and grow from this pandemic but the truth is we also share in the fear.

At MHRI, I am so incredibly proud of the work going on throughout this pandemic.  As an organization, I am confident we are spending most of our time learning and growing - we have found ways to modify protocols to maximize patient and associate safety by increasing remote work, tele-health visits for follow up assessments, remote data monitoring for sponsors and direct delivery of investigational treatments.  Across MedStar, we have approximately 85% of our studies still active, to some degree and almost 90% of our associates working remotely, at least part of the time.  That is a tremendous accomplishment that shows we are solidly in the 'growth zone'.  Thank you to all my MHRI colleagues and to the research participants. 

Stay safe.  Stay well.  Remain physically distant but emotionally connected.
