Gallagher Research Services, founded in 1985, is the only provider of scientifically valid patient records data. What does that mean? 

It means that our nationally known applied scientists have developed a time-tested and unique methodology for ensuring that a representative sample of the target population participates in an effectively designed questionnaire — thereby minimizing bias, ambiguity, and response-order effects. 

Gallagher Research Services gets the right respondents because without proper sampling, nothing else matters. Because there are no short cuts to getting the right sample, our mature and professional interviewers build relationships and work with each individual physician to earn his or her participation. Busy, hard-to-reach, and slow-to-complete physicians are not left behind. 

Physicians who do not normally participate in marketing type studies are more inclined to participate in a Gallagher Research Services study because of our scientific background, publications, and presentations at medical conferences. 

Gallagher Research Services gets the right answers by making sure that study estimates are accurate, measurements are precise, the degree of confidence required is met, and results correlate with some external standard with which one can compare. Additionally, we have the controls necessary to eliminate/minimize data processing and data analysis errors.
