Leveraging compliance to accelerate programmes
In this edition we look at different aspects of compliance: how affecting the compliance dynamics within an organisation can improve results; how to re-establish control over programmes which are not fulfilling their potential; and how investing time and energy in compliant products and processes can minimise errors and accelerate programme delivery.
Improving performance in the public health sector
We outline approaches to help healthcare delivery organisations to address some of the underlying issues behind so-called 'poor performance cycles'. We believe some of the factors critical to success include having full buy-in to a common set of goals, access to the the right performance information at the right time and appropriate management development and coaching.
Integrating personal health and electronic medical records
We also look at how integrating personal health records (PHRs) and electronic medical records (EMRs) is a difficult but essential task for healthcare delivery organisations wishing to remain competitive in a fast-paced, innovative industry; consumers are increasingly shouldering more of the responsibility for managing the costs of their healthcare and will want to know more about the options available to them.
Growth priorities for medium size pharma
Medium-size pharma companies face a unique set of challenges, balancing selling products into a highly regulated environment, typically through different markets, while at the time trying to create and sustain a culture of innovation. We discuss ways these companies can manage their growth effectively as they continue to develop with a particular focus on strategies, constraints, organisational culture, and managing change effectively.
Applying genomic technologies in clinical diagnostics
Bringing genomic technology from a research into a clinical diagnostic environment delivers significant benefits but has specific challenges. We describe factors that must be considered to ensure the result is safe, effective, economically feasible and easily integrated into the clinical environment.
