This Thursday, July 13 @ 9 a.m. central time, my colleague (and one of my favorite people on the planet!), Param Singh, is delivering a 30-minute webinar on a really hot topic: clinical investigator retention. Trust me – this topic is worth 30 minutes of your time! What’s especially neat about this particular webinar is […]

Perficient’s Life Sciences practice regularly monitors the software release notes for several Oracle Health Sciences applications, as well as our own clinical and safety systems. The systems covered in our review are: Oracle Systems Argus Safety Oracle Clinical/Remote Data Capture (OC/RDC) Thesaurus Management System (TMS) Perficient Systems ASCEND (Siebel CTMS) Generally speaking, we review release […]

Now that July is here, I thought it would be neat to look back at what our readers found most interesting last month. Below are the top five blog posts Perficient’s life sciences practice wrote in June – they’re ranked in order of popularity, with number one being the most viewed piece. What Exactly Is An “Adverse […]

A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog post on how to find and install the latest patchset release for Siebel IP2016. While we’re in the middle of 2017 and still waiting for IP2017 to be released, Oracle managed to sneak in another patch release for IP2016. Below are a couple of screenshots that […]

Due to the seriousness of adverse drug reactions, life sciences organizations perform something called “signal detection,” which is the process of evaluating potential safety signals. This entails looking at previously known associations between a drug and an adverse event, and looking at previously known drug-related issues that may be either improving or worsening. Not only […]

Imagine with me: An investigator running a site in one of your studies logs in to see an overview of his payment history. Something seems off, so he begins to review each payment in detail, and comes across what he believes to be the source of the problem – the withholding for his first payment […]

When I’m approached by clients to discuss safety projects, it is generally about implementing Oracle’s Argus Safety, upgrading the system, or discussing their ability to comply with regulatory requirements. Recently, I was asked about migrating from a legacy drug safety database to Argus. We discussed the methods available, such as leveraging an Oracle dump, a […]

While there are many ways to define “adverse drug reaction,” let’s use one that is fairly simply to digest: an unintended, harmful response that is suspected to be caused by a medicinal product being taken under normal circumstances. According to some sources, adverse drug reactions are the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States, […]

As you might know, by default, you can export data from any Siebel list applet. Here is where you invoke the export: Recently, I had a client who wished to disable the ability to export data from Siebel, except for in one particular view. I’ve never seen this documented anywhere before, so I thought I […]

In part one of this two-part blog series, we outlined a number of challenges that organizations face with clinical data reviews. In today’s post, part two of the series, we’ll take a look at how Oracle Health Sciences Data Management Workbench (DMW) can be used to tackle those challenges. DATA MANAGEMENT WORKBENCH (DMW) OVERVIEW When […]
