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.
