A thriving clinical research hub of the future will move clinical research beyond the typical academic medical center (AMC) into community-based outpatient clinics. Ecosystems that succeed in this effort will not only achieve higher rates of clinical trial participation, they will also achieve better health outcomes and help to drive medical advances forward.
