Site Burden Assessment Calculator
See where site burden is limiting your patient support uptake and ROI
Research site teams play a critical role in whether patients actually receive and use support tools.
This calculator helps you identify where your current support tools may be asking too much of research staff, from repeated explanations to manual follow-up and coordination.
Use it to spot where site burden could affect tool uptake, patient preparedness, adherence, retention and delivery consistency.
Use this calculator to assess
-
Where sites are spending time explaining, chasing or coordinating support
-
Which patient support tasks still depend on manual effort
-
Whether sites have a clear and manageable role in introducing tools to patients
-
Where burden could affect patient uptake or consistency across sites
-
Which parts of your support model need improving before rollout or scale-up
Your result gives you a practical view of where support delivery may need to change to work better for patients and sites.
Why this matters
Lower site burden means better patient uptake.
Even strong patient support tools can underperform if they are difficult for sites to introduce.
When support fits site workflows, research staff are more likely to share it with patients at the right time. Patients are more likely to receive consistent guidance, understand what is expected, arrive prepared and stay engaged through the study.
The calculator helps you find the operational friction that can weaken patient experience and reduce the value of your retention strategy.
Who it's for
This calculator is useful if you are responsible for patient support, engagement, retention or study delivery and need to understand:
-
Whether your support model works for sites as well as patients
-
Where sites may need clearer tools, timing or guidance
-
Where manual effort could affect consistency
-
What may be limiting patient support uptake and usage
-
How to improve support delivery before scaling across sites or studies
