How AI Can Enhance the Clinical Data Review and Cleaning Process
Ensuring that clinical trial data is accurate and that clinical trials are safe and effective, is a time-consuming and a manually intensive process. Many life sciences companies have implemented home-grown or off-the-shelf clinical data review platforms and defined the reviewing and cleaning processes to be used with them. Many of these systems have proven to […]
Life Sciences Companies Can Establish Better Relationships
It used to be that a doctor was a patient’s only touch point for a diagnosis and prescription. Today, patients have many more avenues to get the information they seek, which has led to higher expectations from patients. Fortunately, life sciences companies have the opportunity to understand, educate, and treat patients by successfully engaging them. […]
Addressing Clinical Trial Challenges with Robotic Automation
The success of any given clinical trial depends heavily on the relationship between the sponsors and study sites. This is more important than ever since life sciences and healthcare companies are undergoing a digital transformation. The evolving trend towards patient-centric trials, combined with the introduction of digital technology solutions that improve clinical trials outcomes, means […]
Argus Safety, Oracle Clinical & RDC Release Notes [Oct. 2019]
Perficient’s Life Sciences practice regularly monitors the software release notes for several Oracle Health Sciences applications, including: Argus Safety Oracle Clinical/Remote Data Capture (OC/RDC) Thesaurus Management System (TMS) Generally speaking, we review release notes at the beginning of each month for the previous month. On occasion, there are no new releases and, therefore, nothing to review; however, […]
Executives and Cloud – Perfect Alignment
In today’s “digital everything” world with all the confusing jargon around the subject of “cloud”, it is easy to miss the point of why cloud technology is important. In this blog, I hope to remind the reader about some cloud basics. The reference to cloud in this blog is a more broadly defined definition of […]
iHelp Lifecycle and Version Control in Life sciences
Previously, I examined how to develop content and implement iHelp. In this final installment I discuss the iHelp lifecycle and control. iHelp comes with a built-in version control system. When you create a new iHelp article, it starts at version 0, with a status of “In Progress.” You then enter and edit the content, testing […]
Kali Project Encryption and Isolation Using Vagrant and BitLocker
Imagine that you work on different engagements or projects in which Kali Linux is one of your primary tools. Furthermore, maybe you also have the need to keep the data for each of those projects isolated from the others – in other words, you need to avoid cross-contamination between your projects. In this article I […]
Administering iHelp and Developing Content in Life Sciences
My previous blog highlighted the useful cases of iHelp. This blog will examine how to develop content and implement iHelp. iHelp is developed and administered through the Administration iHelp screen. The Designer view provides a Java-based workflow editor, which is very much like a simple version of Microsoft Visio. You drag the steps onto the […]
Oracle Cloud PPM Rapid Install – “Why Bother?”
Introduction In this installment, I will discuss a few key takeaways of the PPM Rapid Install sheet. The PPM Rapid Installation is very helpful in getting an environment up very quickly. It also provides a structure in capturing configuration data. Depending on which features are suited, and selected, for your company, the sheet will enable […]
Invoice formats- Oracle Projects Considerations Part 7
What is a Project Billing Invoice Format? The Oracle projects billing invoice formats determine how invoice lines can be displayed on invoices. Implementers define the width of columns and different data types to appear. Invoice formats also allow free-form text. These details are used in Receivables for invoice accounting and presentment to the customer. Are […]
