title: Physician perceptions of an Electronic Health Record-based Clinical Trial Alert system: a survey of study participants.
abstract: Physicians play a vital role in the clinical trial recruitment process, but most do not participate. We developed a new Clinical Trial Alert (CTA) system and studied its effect on a cohort of physicians across a health system. Following this study, we surveyed our physician subjects. Their responses offer insights into the CTA's utility, their attitudes toward trial recruitment, and suggest areas for CTA refinement.
