Life sciences solutions for the Microsoft Office System
Many leading life sciences companies are solving critical business problems using solutions built with the Microsoft Office System. Here is a sampling of solutions that are helping organizations transform their businesses by taking advantage of the Microsoft Office products they already own and use every day:
Increasing Care Management Capacity
As health plan enrollment grows and care management systems take on larger case loads, companies are looking for solutions to increase their care management capacity. Care management solutions built on the Microsoft Office System use familiar technology to help care managers work faster and manage more members. These solutions also provide consistent task management and interoperability with existing systems, which can assist companies in meeting their quality care goals.
Automating Clinical Forms
Healthcare providers are constantly challenged to reduce costs, comply with government regulatory requirements, and consistently improve patient care. But outdated, paper-based clinical and administrative processes can prevent providers from meeting these challenges effectively. Clinical forms solutions based on the Microsoft Office System can automate these processes, helping healthcare providers to reduce costs, improve patient care, and enhance caregiver job satisfaction.
Expediting Clinical Trial Initiation
Pharmaceutical companies must bring new drugs to market as quickly as possible in order to maximize the benefits to patients and recover their investments. Each day saved during development can translate into significant revenues, so speeding the clinical trial process, including the initiation phase, is key. A clinical trial initiation solution based on the Microsoft Office System can help pharmaceutical companies significantly reduce the time it takes to design clinical trial studies.
Simplifying Clinical Trial Management
Pharmaceutical companies accrue nearly half their cost of bringing new drugs to market in the clinical trial phase. Since studies indicate that 75 percent of clinical trials are behind schedule, streamlining clinical trial management is a critical goal. A clinical trial solution based on the Microsoft Office System can help companies capture patient data and manage administration tasks more efficiently, enabling faster, more cost-effective trials.
Manufacturing Intelligence for Life Sciences
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations are under increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency. To do this, organizations are working to make better use of their operations data. Manufacturing intelligence solutions using the Microsoft Office System can help, by providing a real-time view of the entire operations environment. These solutions can enable companies to fine-tune processes, better respond to regulatory demands, and improve cycle times and product yields.
Streamlining Regulated Document Management
To comply with increasing regulations governing electronic data, the life sciences industry must maintain strict controls over the ways such data is managed. But these controls can also impede workflow speed and efficiency. The Microsoft Office system provides the tools and flexibility needed for efficient document management without compromising the security required for compliance. These tools help increase document workflow efficiency, enabling greater productivity and faster speed to market for products.
Creating Structured Product Labeling
The 2003 Structured Product Labels (SPL) regulation requires pharmaceutical companies to report key product label information in a structured format to the FDA. To comply with the regulation, companies can use SPL solutions based on the Microsoft Office System. These solutions help enable companies to conform to FDA requirements, take new drugs to market faster, and eliminate the operational complexities and costs associated with global product labeling.
