Research & Innovation Center

at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center

The Research & Innovation Center is focused on advancing medical research with a specific emphasis on the importance of healthcare equity. The Medical Center supports the participation of representative subjects in clinical trials and data collection projects – studies must include all genders, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds to provide the most comprehensive results.

The Center will help redesign healthcare delivery and therapeutics for the patients we serve. Bergen New Bridge is partnering with industry leaders to innovate integrated care that yields the best health and wellness outcomes.

Our staff will be working to develop ideas that could lead to improvements in care, reductions in overall costs, and will provide new products and services. The mission of the Center is to create solutions that benefit patients at Bergen New Bridge and beyond.

Clinical Trials

At the heart of a clinical trial is the need to gather research while following strict scientific protocols which protect patients and guarantee solid results. As a participant in a clinical trial, the data provided helps determine which therapeutic approaches work best for certain patients and specific illnesses.

Actively Recruiting Trial

DEV Study: Type 2 Diabetes

The DEV study is recruiting participants between the ages of 50 and 70 with a Diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes OR a hemoglobin A1C > 6.5% within the past 24 months. Any duration of diabetes and any treatment regimen is acceptable. Learn More

Research @ Bergen New Bridge

Some of the greatest innovations in healthcare have come from the observations of clinicians who are treating patients every day. The Center will be able to take these ideas and create clinical trials or data collection projects to take these observations and turn them into a full hypothesis that can then be tested. The results of this in-house brainstorming will change the face of healthcare delivery at the Medical Center and across the country.

Data Collection Projects

Data is a critical element in the effort to improve population and public health. When we understand the basics about a certain population or a certain illness, we can improve the care we provide. The Center will partner with organizations seeking to improve and expand the data available which in turn will lead to innovations and new developments in products and services provided at the Medical Center.

Departmental Studies

As the research program grows, different departments will have the opportunity to explore hypotheses and develop innovations in best practices. This will result in more efficient, effective and higher quality treatment practices that will result in improved outcomes in health and wellness.
