This document is a report detailing the hidden healthcare benefits provided by Home Trial Support (HTS) in decentralized clinical trials (DCTs). It outlines how HTS alleviates burdens of cost and logistics for patients and caregivers, thereby enhancing patient enrollment and engagement in clinical trials. The report discusses the importance of patient safety, particularly in limiting exposure to healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in traditional clinical settings. It emphasizes the role of HTS healthcare professionals in ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols, which includes sterilization of equipment and appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, the report highlights how HTS can improve patient well-being by providing care in familiar home environments, which can lead to better management of treatment-related symptoms. The document also addresses the broader implications of HTS in alleviating pressures on clinical trial sites, ultimately contributing to greater healthcare access and improved trial outcomes.
