As the saying goes, "From small beginnings come great things." This month, Clinical Outcomes Solutions (COS) is a resounding testament to this adage, marking seven impactful years at the pinnacle of clinical outcomes research. Our journey, though relatively young, is replete with achievements, growth, and a relentless pursuit to enhance patient care value decisions.

The Genesis and Growth

Our odyssey began with a partnership that showcased vision, determination, and a shared passion. The alliance between Stacie Hudgens and Tara Symonds in 2014 laid the foundation stone for what would become a global powerhouse in clinical outcomes research.

From those initial days of collaboration, COS has now burgeoned into a robust entity boasting three strategic leads, nine dedicated research directors, and a team of 55 astute members. With a presence that spans both sides of the Atlantic, we have clients and offices reflecting our global reach and aspirations.

Strategic Expansions and Evolutions

Understanding the importance of communication in our domain, we strategically decided to establish a medical communications (med comms) team in 2015. This move ensured that our research findings not only remained within the realms of academia but were also accessible, decipherable, and actionable for a broader audience.

2019 marked another pivotal year for us. We augmented our expertise by introducing the Oncology Outcomes: Strategic Advisory Partnership. Recognizing the data-driven nature of our industry, we also incorporated a ‘Prospective Data Management and Analytics (PDMA) team. These additions underline our adaptability, foresight, and commitment to offering comprehensive solutions in clinical outcomes research.

Reflecting on the Journey - A Word from our CEO

Stacie Hudgens, the CEO and Strategic Lead at COS encapsulated the sentiment of this milestone beautifully:

"The fact that I lead a team which shares my patient-centered beliefs - the very reason why I founded COS - is a huge source of pride. COS is stronger than ever; our reputation ever-growing and our commitment to all we do unwavering. We look forward to the next seven years - and beyond - of innovative science to capture the patient voice."

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this significant milestone, our vision remains clear and commitment unyielding. Every decision we make, every research we conduct, and every collaboration we forge is with a singular goal – to ensure the patient's voice is heard, considered, and acted upon.

On behalf of everyone at Clinical Outcomes Solutions, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our partners, clients, and team members. Here's to many more years of innovation, excellence, and making a difference in the world of clinical outcomes research.
