Philadelphia, PA
Building on the success of two summits, CBI’s 3rd Summit on Clinical Trial Investigator Portals offers solutions to challenges in portal design and implementation. Also to be presented are case studies and live demos highlighting the second phase of portal deployments and how organizations are utilizing them beyond clinical sites.
NextDocs is a co-sponsor of the event and jointly presenting with Microsoft Corporation on May 19th at 3:00 PM.
Topic
"SharePoint as a Clinical Collaboration Platform – The Seven Essential Functions"
Speakers
Chet Shemanski, Director, Product Management, NextDocs Corporation
Michael Naimoli, Worldwide Managing Director, Microsoft Life Sciences
NextDocs and Microsoft discuss the seven elements of a SharePoint-based clinical collaboration platform – a unified collection of discrete components that, in combination, provide an environment where diverse constituents can participate in the creation and management of clinical trial documentation in real time.
Internet portals that allow stakeholders to access trial information and monitor overall trial progress are often viewed as the “silver bullet” to the collaboration challenge – and are often accompanied by claims of increased productivity and decreased trial costs. Unfortunately, the portal solutions available on the market today do not live up to these promises. They fall short because they simply present information from diverse sources in a unified way and are not well integrated with the underlying processes that create, manage and disseminate that information. This fundamental shortcoming (and the need to remedy it) is addressed by the concept of an integrated clinical collaboration platform. Microsoft’s ubiquitous SharePoint collaboration software provides many of the capabilities necessary for keeping even the most technologically challenged colleagues connected. Over the past 12-18 months pharmaceutical companies of all sizes have begun adopting SharePoint to improve their internal collaborative processes. More recently, the technology is serving as the collaboration platform that enables information-sharing and communication between clinical trial sponsors and study personnel located at the investigational sites. This session discusses the seven elements of a SharePoint-based clinical collaboration platform – a unified collection of discrete components that, in combination, provide an environment where diverse constituents can participate in the creation and management of clinical trial documentation in real time.
