This initiative is designed to increase the chances for clinical trial volunteers to find studies for which they may qualify through a collaboration of pharma companies and CROs. More than 20 major biopharmaceutical companies and CROs have been working toward participation in the Referral Plus initiative where each company has agreed to share its enrolling studies with each other and refer participants who disqualify from their own studies to other participating member studies using an automated geo-therapeutic matching algorithm. “We know only 5% of participants who respond to a recruitment ad will enroll into the study they applied to for a number of reasons, including geography, inclusion/exclusion restrictions, medications, etc.," says Lisa LaLuna, senior VP at ePharmaSolutions. “Through the geo-therapeutic matching algorithm, we can automatically match the 95% of participants who disqualified for one study into other studies they might qualify for and be interested in." { For more information, visit epharmasolutions.com. Cegedim Delivers an Integrated Cloud Solution Cegedim Relationship Management has released a new integrated solution in partnership with Concur. The solution helps ensure any expense tied to a healthcare professional (HCP) or healthcare organization (HCO) is accurately assigned upfront in Concur using a Cegedim OneKey global ID. Data are then integrated into Cegedim’s AggregateSpend360 — an aggregate spend transparency and disclosure reporting solution. Revised industry association codes, coupled with more stringent transparency laws across the world, have caused life-sciences companies to increasingly monitor and disclose their financial relationships with their individual stakeholders. Since the reporting evolves at a nominative level, identifying each covered recipient is critical. The solution ensures high-quality customer and expense data, and delivers accurate transparency reports through a seamless integration with AggregateSpend360.
