Move Supports Expansion of Tech-Enabled Reimbursement and Travel Services
BOSTON /PRNewswire/ -- BBK Holdings, LLC, parent company of patient recruitment and engagement market leader BBK Worldwide (BBK), announced today the establishment of BBK Patient Experience Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary in Dublin, Ireland. The move marks an important milestone for the company and its global commitment to enhancing the clinical trial patient experience. The subsidiary will support BBK's technology-enabled reimbursement and travel programs, RSG® Card and RSG® Arrive – two key offerings that increase access to care, remove barriers to participation, and foster long-term engagement. The subsidiary will also support data-protection initiatives – designed to standardize and strengthen the protection of personal data – in adherence with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
"We are very excited to further expand our presence in the European Union with this new subsidiary," comments Matt Kibby, principal and president, BBK Worldwide. "Not only will it serve to bolster operational excellence within the region, but it will support BBK in the ability to offer best-in-class products and services that meet the needs of today's clinical trials."
RSG® Card and RSG® Arrive, launched in 2013, have become the gold standard for clinical trial reimbursement and travel programs. In an industry marked by increasing competition, RSG® Card and RSG® Arrive have compelling data that shows their ability to transform the recruitment and engagement experience for patients and site staff alike. "In light of the evolving regulatory and political environment in Europe, it is important that we have an expanded presence within the European Union so that we can provide these products and services to those who need them," comments Joan F. Bachenheimer, founding principal and CEO, BBK Worldwide. "Our corporate strategy and decision-making reflects our longstanding commitment to putting the patient first and to ensuring our products and services are available on a global scale and compliant with current regulations."
