Off-shoring: A Country Attractiveness Index for Clinical Trials
By Mark P. Mathieu
For many years, pharmaceutical companies have been off-shoring manufacturing operations to lower-cost countries. Healthy margins and strong risk aversion have afforded pharmaceutical companies the luxury of staying close to home, for all but manufacturing activities. As financial pressures increase, pharmaceutical executives are finding that going offshore is not only less risky than it once was, but also too attractive to ignore. Read More

 January 15, 2010 | Practice Fusion has announced the launch of its free e-prescribing system for physicians. Doctors now have the ability to electronically transmit prescriptions to pharmacies at no cost. "There are an estimated 1.5 million medication errors each year in the US; that’s unacceptable. e-Prescribing is one of the mostly widely accepted tools – proven repeatedly – for reducing medication errors and streamlining practice efficiency,” said Ryan Howard, CEO of Practice Fusion in the press release. “We’re making this technology freely available to any doctor in the US with no strings attached. No one else offers a free EHR with e-prescribing like Practice Fusion. No one else can have it up and running for a doctor as fast." Practice Fusion's free e-prescribing system includes: connection to over 50,000 pharmacies; continuously updated medication library; same-day enrollment for most providers; flexibility to use e-prescribing as a stand-alone feature or as part of the comprehensive free EHR system; easy pharmacy look-up with filters for proximity to the practice or patient address; and more.

The Workflow Driven Lab Many companies have recognized that their internal business units operate as a set of business processes. These business processes are also called workflows. Modern Laboratories are highly suitable to this workflow driven approach. In fact, the lab environments successful operation is predicated on the successful definition and adherence to workflows. It could be said that a modern laboratory is an advanced process implementing construct. It is important that laboratory management software mirrors the process driven nature of the lab thereby increasing automation, shortening learning curves, improving data quality and increasing lab throughput. - The modern laboratory is an advanced workflow implementing construct
- Laboratory Management Software solutions should fully embrace and mirror this process driven approach
- Effective information management of workflow processes with a LIMS results in increased automation, reduced training curves, better data quality and increased lab throughput
