CARE’s ProcurementPlus(SM) methodology, built on two decades of experience, generates highly predictable outcomes by incorporating customized proprietary technology with sophisticated processes. Utilizing engineering methods applied to a production house concept, CARE created its unique procurement process with highly flexible throughput capacity to meet any project turnaround time requirements.

Regardless of the volume of study records required or the timeframe in which those records must be procured, the processes in place at CARE that define ProcurementPlus do not change. These include:

• Proprietary tracking tools used in real time
• Extensive written policies and procedures
• Staff training and retraining for consistency
• Use of proven communication strategies to secure records
• Unparalleled HIPAA knowledge
• Relationships with providers throughout the United States
• Knowledge to respond to any procurement question and objection
• Constant monitoring of study metrics for success
• Credentialed project managers in constant contact with your team

Record procurement is defined by CARE as an advanced production house activity. In the simplest terms, whether you need 10 or 10,000 records, we can flex up or down to meet your needs on time and on budget, which adds value to your enterprise and strengthens your relationships with your customers. We can run our “production house” eight hours per day, or 24 hours per day, whatever is needed to meet your study timelines. We can add or reduce staff as the study milestones dictate.

Outcomes can predicted based on years of experience refining our procurement methods. Our process is comprehensive and efficient, and our project-management skills and tools tell us the status of each project at any moment. CARE is nimble in its operations and can change course quickly when needed. Our goal is to complete procurement for your study in advance of deadlines.

How do we know we are the most effective at procuring study records? Our experience shows our average procurement rate is the highest in the industry, ranging from 75% to 85% depending on the study design. Over the past 20 years, CARE has procured study records for studies ranging in size from 100 to 50,000.

When your procurement project needs to be handled with care, think CARE.
