Clinical Research

In 2009, ESP formed Hospital Physicians in Clinical Research, PLLC to conduct medical research and clinical trials. Staffed with experienced physician investigators, coordinators and technicians, HPCR is poised to carry out virtually any study in the emergency department, ICU, or clinic setting.

Functioning as a site maintenance organization, HPCR provides a single contact point to access more than 300 potential principal investigators boarded in multiple specialties, more than 20 emergency departments, five ICUs, and several clinics in Texas, including a Level One trauma center and a dedicated children’s hospital, that account for approximately 600,000 patient visits per year. The HPCR staff has decades of experience in early- and late-phase pharmaceutical clinical trials, NIH-funded and investigator-initiated studies, as well as grant management.

The ESP Advantage

“Emergency Service Partners has consistently been an outstanding partner for Seton Southwest. There is a clear commitment to excellence in patient safety and the total patient experience. I could not ask for a better team of physicians or medical director who clearly understand and embrace our mission and our values as an organization.

I most appreciate the positive approach this physician group takes in collaboratively helping us deal with the real challenges of effectively managing staffing and process to provide safe and efficient care. The openness to new ideas and creative approaches in dealing with growing volumes and growing patient demands is very much appreciated.

I believe our unique relationship has enabled us to test new approaches to deliver some of the best emergency care in the country. It is absolutely wonderful to have such a strong emergency physician group partner.”
