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

clinicalRSVP Detects and Stops Attempted Dual Enrollers
Feb 16 | eCliniqua | One of the more intractable problems in clinical research is identifying which subjects are attempting to enroll in more than one study at once or have failed to meet the required waiting period between studies. Independent Data Integrator (IDI), a Florida-based provider of IT solutions, is addressing the problem with its Clinical Research Subject Verification Program, or clinicalRSVP.

Healogica to Exit Difficult Market for Online Trial Matchmakers
Feb 3 | eCliniqua | It’s an ostensibly sound idea: give the Internet-savvy masses a simple, high-speed search tool for navigating a comprehensive but cumbersome clinical trials listing website. But industry sponsors have deep reservations about the concept, effectively taking down at least two otherwise promising trial matchmaking services.

Engaging E-Patients the BBK Way
July 20, 2009 | Clinical trial sponsors are largely unaware of the conflict that arises when dealing with the new, increasingly Internet savvy e-patient who is highly motivated, well educated, self-advocating, and self-informing, says Bonnie Brescia, of BBK Worldwide. “But the Internet is undermining that whole model.”

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
