There’s no denying it; pharma is in its innovation era. The life sciences industry is already undergoing a massive revolution, thanks to the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI). We’re experiencing a transformation that will likely redefine every aspect of the medical field, from research and drug development to patient care — and beyond.
Are you wondering where to start with your change management strategy as you integrate Docuvera’s structured component authoring (SCA) into your enterprise? Adding new solutions to your tech stack is not just a “change of software” but an opportunity for transformation. For life sciences organizations, letting go of disconnected systems and centralizing content and workflow is a game changer.
For the life sciences industry, change tracking is integral to the quality assurance process. It allows authors to keep track of any changes made to document content, which helps ensure quality output.
Artificial intelligence (AI). It’s everywhere, and it’s changing the world as we know it. From chatbots to self-driving cars, AI is here to make our lives easier AND take our jobs. Right? Well…not exactly, our jobs are safe for now.
Deviating from familiarity can make people feel uncomfortable. At the same time, humans are adaptable; have you ever protested a software update for an app on your phone? You likely grumbled a little bit, but before you even realized it, you were moving on with your life, if not appreciating the improvements.
Around the globe, artificial intelligence (AI) is all the buzz, including international healthcare events like DIA Europe and DIA Global. With the potential to revolutionize healthcare, accelerate drug discovery, and enhance patient outcomes, AI has sparked immense excitement in the life sciences — assuming it can find its ideal application.
Pharmaceutical labeling content requires compliance, accuracy, collaboration between departments and stakeholders, and often translation. When most of the process happens through disparate platforms, it becomes time-consuming and costly for life sciences organizations.
In part one of our Pharmaceutical Labeling and the Promise of SCA series, we examined the unique challenges in pharmaceutical labeling and why the industry has yet to utilize structured component authoring (SCA) fully. The verdict? Pharmaceutical labeling content has many components, including compliance, accuracy, collaboration between departments and stakeholders, as well as translation.
The drug documentation lifecycle is long and involves many people along the way. From in-depth review processes to challenges in auditing and tracking content, Life Sciences organizations that are still using publishing programs like Microsoft Word are likely spending a lot of resources to build document processes based on 1980s technology.
Imagine your team of medical information writers has spent days, months, maybe even years authoring, reviewing, and updating drug development content in a program like Microsoft Word. This process involved the writing itself and multiple rounds of reviews, as well as sifting through hundreds of paragraphs to update a single sentence and countless hours reconciling various versions.
For many Life Sciences organizations, a leading challenge — on top of a very long product development cycle — is that the work is completed across departments, time zones, and even languages. Many pharma content teams must work collaboratively using tools that don’t support an efficient exchange of information, especially when you factor in translation and localization.
In Pharma, one form of technology that offers great promise is a structured component authoring (SCA) platform. When Life Sciences organizations choose to roll out new tools of any type, hopes are typically high; adoption needs to go smoothly all the way from implementation to individual use. You want resources to support functionality. And you want a solution that saves your organization time and money on whatever problem you thought the product might solve.
Recently, Docuvera attended DIA Europe 2023, a conference organized by the Drug Information Association (DIA), a global nonprofit. The event aims to bring together Life Sciences professionals to exchange knowledge and collaborate to improve healthcare worldwide and provides a platform to discuss the latest developments in healthcare and regulatory science.
For Pharma businesses of all sizes, the right tools can enable efficiency, collaboration and effective use of available resources. When it comes to medical information writing teams, structured component authoring (SCA) is a solution with great promise for a complex authoring process. However, not all SCA platforms are designed to flex to match the needs of all organizations.
We believe that Life Sciences organizations need a centralized platform for medical information authoring, so we’re sitting down with experts to examine some of the greatest inefficiencies in the industry. To kick off our series, we interviewed Docuvera Medical Affairs SME Kenneth Galloway to hear what challenges writers face and learn how structured component authoring (SCA) can streamline the process for the whole organization.
To keep up with the times or rather, persevere to the future, Life Sciences organizations need to match the pace of progress. Ironically, this industry has been one of the slowest to adopt technology to help optimize the processes and workflows that could essentially change the world.
For Life Sciences organizations, the medical authoring process requires agility to comply with complex documentation requirements. From dozens of authors and strict regulations to multiple review cycles, you need a solution that moves with your projects — a flexibility that might be missing if you still depend on programs like Microsoft Word for your content development and publication.
For Life Sciences organizations, agility in the face of regulatory change is essential. In the complex medical authoring process, content development and publishing should be easy and intuitive, and not get in the way of your groundbreaking work.
When organizations invest in new platforms and technology, it’s a big deal. From making the actual purchase of the tool to using IT resources to getting everything up and running, it can be a major lift — and a major expense.
For authors in the Life Sciences industry, there are typically many moving parts — and many people working simultaneously — on any given project. Getting people on the same page is critical when you are creating medical documentation. And, this is even more of a challenge when you have a combination of internal and external teams collaborating on a project.
Medical authoring has long relied on programs like Microsoft Word, and with good reason. The desktop publishing platform is user-friendly, universally familiar and has hardly changed in the three decades since its first release.
Are you still using a program like Microsoft Word for your medical authoring and documentation? What if we told you that AI and structured content can give authors advantages like flexibility, improved compliance capabilities, better data integration and more?
When making a decision on a technology vendor, there are many considerations. Will it alleviate a significant problem? What does the onboarding process look like? Is there a support system for after the installation?
IT teams are the unsung heroes of every enterprise organization. From securing endpoints, maintaining the network and troubleshooting, to executing new technologies that can change the course of business, IT is busy. And, like many departments, IT is often under-resourced and overworked. The last thing they want is to undertake launching a solution that requires extensive support or barriers to implementation.
Technology can be a game-changer that streamlines complex processes, enhances productivity and increases efficiency. For Life Sciences organizations, a structured component authoring (SCA) platform can help transform the medical authoring and documentation process — as long as you can get everyone on board. With this in mind, we’re sharing our top three tips for a successful SCA implementation.
On the surface, structured component authoring (SCA) is a concept that makes sense in theory but has been hard to implement for many organizations. Much of the medical authoring and documentation done today is accomplished through standard desktop publishing programs like Microsoft Word — but these programs are not designed with Life Sciences authors in mind.
Imagine this: you’re working on groundbreaking innovations for the Life Sciences industry. Your team is composed of multiple people with various specialties, spread across time zones (and sometimes, continents). There are clinical trials, endless regulatory and ethics requirements, and countless changes to critical documentation in the authoring process. You might be on the cusp of changing the world — yet you’re using Microsoft Word to manage and publish your information.
