A Layered Approach to Computer Security for Healthcare Organizations

With the widespread adoption of electronic health records and laptop computers, healthcare organizations face increased risk of data breaches. The loss of a computer compromises patient privacy, and exposes organizations to damaging publicity and HIPAA compliance challenges. This paper outlines a multilayered approach to computer security, complementing encryption with theft recovery and remote data delete capabilities to ensure the highest standard of protection.

How Effective Document Management Can Help Accelerate Time to Market
 

How Effective Document Management Can Help Accelerate Time to Market In the drug
development process, time is indeed money. So it only makes sense to try to reduce delays in
every phase of the process and speed up time to market. But how and where do you begin to save t
ime? This white paper suggests that you start with the most basic activity—document management.

FDA’s Quality Systems Approach to Pharmaceutical CGMPs


The FDA issued the final version of this guidance on Sept. 29, 2006. It is meant to bridge the gap
between the 1978 Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations and current quality
systems and risk management approaches. The guidance aims to help manufacturers operate modern
quality systems that are fully compliant with CGMP― specifically 21 CFR Parts 210 and 211―
harmonize CGMP with other quality standards, such as ISO 9000, non-U.S. pharmaceutical
quality management requirements, and FDA’s own medical device Quality System Regulations (QSR).

CDER Official Offers Tips on GMP Inspections

Only one of every 10,000 potential medicines investigated by American research-based
pharmaceutical companies passes the rigorous Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval
process, according to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America. On average, it
takes 15 years of research and development — at a cost of about $800 million — for a new medicine
to get approved. It is no wonder that for many pharmaceutical companies, there are no three letters
in the alphabet more important than F-D-A.

Rising Clinical Trial Delays and Costs - Addressing the Cause, Not the Symptoms 

medidata podcastProtocol complexity is taking a toll on clinical study speed and efficiency: increasingly complicated and ambitious protocols are not only burdening sites and study volunteers but are also prolonging trials and increasing expenses. In response, sponsors have turned to global study placement, restructured site relationships and new site management practices, but the problem remains.

This podcast will discuss:

  • Why these responses address only the symptoms, not the underlying cause, of rising clinical trial delays and costs.
  • Results of a recent joint Tufts University / Medidata Solutions study.
  • New metrics benchmarking protocol design trends.
  • Systematic protocol design improvements and why they are essential to clinical trial performance excellence.

Speakers: Ken Getz, Senior Research Fellow at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, and Ed Seguine, General Manager, Trial Planning Solutions at Medidata.
