The involvement of epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and data scientists is paramount in offering technical and scientific support to health researchers. In our organization, research support services, such as technical, statistical, logistical, and scientific assistance, have been provided to researchers for the past 20 years under the name of \u201cData Clinic Service\u201d. This article discusses the establishment of a physical booth called the \u201cResearch Concierge Desk\u201d within a medical center to offer on-site, free-of-charge, and direct consultations to researchers, thereby improving accessibility to data clinic services. The underlying concept of the \u201cResearch Concierge Desk\u201d is to align the research workflow for busy clinicians, who require vital assistance in the technical aspects of their research. As well, the desk and its digital platform enabled us to assess research process workflow, such as research submission, data clinic requests, research progress tracking, and researcher satisfaction assessment. We present the initiation of the \u201cResearch Concierge Desk\u201d as an innovative solution in hospital settings, outline the available resources, benefits, challenges, and propose areas for improvement. The experience gained from implementing the \u201cResearch Concierge Desk\u201d model can greatly benefit other health centers in adopting a similar approach to develop enhanced services for clinical researchers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frma.2024.1335240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,5]],"date-time":"2024-04-05T04:56:40Z","timestamp":1712293000000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Enhancing research support services in health organizations by implementing a \u201cResearch Concierge Desk\u201d, a case study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Areej","family":"AlFattani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Abeer","family":"AlFirm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Norah","family":"AlBedah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Haifa","family":"AlDakhil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Elaf","family":"Al Muaythir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Leena","family":"Zeyad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yasmin","family":"AlTwaijri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e515s","DOI":"10.6061\/clinics\/2017\/e515s","article-title":"Academic health centers: integration of clinical research with healthcare and education.
