    Why Patient Outcomes Matter More Than Ever

    Standardization reigns supreme in the world of science, but when it comes to drug development, a Nova Scotian company is challenging the status quo. Patient centred outcomes have been identified by the FDA as a clinical trials tool that needs more attention, and Ardea Outcomes is doing just that.
