Read how utilizing electronic data capture systems ─ including eCOA ─ and training site raters, subjects and caregivers are important tools to ensure high quality data capture in rare disease research.

The future of EHRs has been a topic of heavy discussion and debate. The world many anticipated coming from Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems is beginning to take shape, but due to the limitations of many practice-and hospital-based systems it is not exactly the future everyone envisioned. By HK Bain, CEO, Digitech Systems

Running a physician practice has never been easy, something that isn’t going to change any time soon. Today’s environment requires even more than clinical and business expertise — it demands adaptability. It involves building a long-term strategy to handle change.

The U.S. healthcare industry’s claims-payment system is frustrating to providers, payers, and patients alike. Inefficiency and a systemwide tendency for error wastes precious resources, worsens miscommunication and mistrust among all stakeholders, and inhibits the ability to transition to value-based approaches that achieve better outcomes. We need to rethink our industry’s disjointed and siloed approach in order to solve a very integrated problem.

When we think about field service professionals, they are everywhere. They work in utilities (such as power generation), communications (including cable and satellite TV, internet, or mobile operators), construction, and a host of other industries. Field service teams are a key part of the business, responsible for the creation, maintenance and/or activation of your products and services. To a large degree, these professionals work at the mercy of paper-laden (pen, paper, clipboards, forms, etc.) and time-consuming processes to perform their duties – from delivery drop-offs to installation and on-boarding. Data quality problems are commonplace and processes take too long, impacting productivity, billing and budgets, bottom-line revenue, and compliance reporting.

Inspection systems are highly accurate, and growing more accurate all the time, but they still have limitations which must be considered when implementing a label inspection program.

Globalization of clinical trials, tightening regulatory requirements, a more competitive and collaborative commercial environment, and an increasingly mobile workforce requires life-sciences companies to standardize and improve regulated content management processes to ensure information is shared with the right people at the right time.

As a trusted source of innovative solutions in clinical diagnostics, Fujirebio Diagnostics' sought to replace an its paper-based GMP record system and manual process with an electronic monitoring system.

As the healthcare industry has transitioned to digital health records, patient misidentification has become rampant and carries significant consequences that can negatively impact patient care and a hospital’s financial performance.

How the right team and tools can make all the difference in clinical trial rescue scenarios.

Purpose-built SSU solutions track clinical trial operations using much needed standardized performance metrics.

The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to transform healthcare delivery at an unprecedented pace. An increasingly diverse set of smart devices and communication-enabled sensors is bringing hospitals greater awareness of the medical devices, equipment, clinicians, staff and patients in their care delivery environments. They also are generating a wealth of data that they can use to re-engineer delivery models to become more dynamic, efficient and responsive to patient needs—driving lower costs and higher patient satisfaction.
