Choosing your EDC Solutions Provider

EDC systems are the industry standard for accurate, cost-effective, and safe collection of data. However, insufficient expertise in designing data validation plans, miscommunication between sponsors and EDC vendors about the former’s expectations and the latter’s capacities, poorly defined metrics, and delays in data entry and query resolution can all be major obstacles for the successful utilization of EDC. In order to provide a seamless service and ensure high-quality of EDC services, ClinSearch has developed this expertise in-house. Our data management department has accumulated expert knowledge in designing and setting up EDC systems for your clinical, post-marketing, and compassionate-use studies. We can assist you in preparing data validation plans, training EDC users, developing the optimal visual implementation solutions for your studies, and customizing data reports. During the whole process, the expertise of our team will be at your disposal! The process of setting up EDC starts with setting up objectives for the system by the sponsor or with the help of ClinSearch. This is followed by defining the regulatory compliance for the EDC, as well as the users, interfaces, and target processes. Then the rules and requirements are defined, the relevant processes, support functions, and data protection and data repository policies. Due to our expertise, we have the opportunity to be quick and efficient in proposing the best designs for your needs, accounting for risks for the functionality of the EDC and the quality of the data. Our EDC solutions offer the following features:

Customization of electronic case report forms(eCRFs);

Provision of a web-based platform, providing sites with access to data entry, thus managing a cleaning and locking process on-the-go, in which any queries against the data are resolved;

Adaptation of the final data to SAS dataset.

We also have an integrated statistics and medical writing department, as well as pharmacovigilance and materiovigilance experts, who can fulfill the safety design and monitoring needs for your projects. Our safety team is working on projects with encoding and review of terms, reported in clinical trials, medical history, prior or concomitant treatments; as well as identification of missing and discrepant data between SAE reports and clinical databases. We use the industry-accepted dictionaries MedDRA and WHOdrug and we have a full-time MedDRA-certified staff member, Mme Marianne Morineau, MD. Furthermore, MedDRA coding is integrated into our EDC solutions, so physicians have the opportunity to code immediately. If you are looking to start a study soon and want to explore the benefits of an EDC platform or need some ad-hoc medical writing or statistics services, do not hesitate to contact us. We will also be attending the EuroPCR in Paris, so we would be happy to schedule a meeting.

Social Networks & Privacy: Many Threats!

Today, social networking users are very threatened and the safety of data shared on social networks is at risk.

First of all, the access to basic information constituting the identity of the user (for example, name, date of birth, place of birth, photo) opens the way to the risk of identity usurpation.

Besides, teenagers, more and more active on social networks, are exposed to sexual predators. Indeed, These take pleasure to contact their victims, mostly under a fake identity, and locate them geographically. This risk is greater because teenagers are less likely than adults to be careful on these networks.

Furthermore, some social networks like LinkedIn allow users to post their curriculum vitae (CV) and possibly find career opportunities. On the other side, publications of a person on a social network like Twitter or Facebook can be harmful to his professional ambitions. Indeed, an employer can quite believe that obscene photos or injurious language can deteriorate the image of the company and fire the employee.

Facebook: a place of meetings for cyber-pedophiles.

Pedophilia is far from being a new phenomenon on this Earth, but the appearance of new technological tools such as the Internet worsens this case by giving predators a great sense of anonymity. They do not hesitate to come together now on social networks like Facebook to plan their appointments and flirt with their next victim.

Social Networking: Cyber Bullying

Created for BPA by Tyler Cawyer, Emily Matthews, Jared Abbott and Caitlyn Thompson Several years ago most people didn’ t have a computer in their own homes. I am not even mentioning cell phones or tablets. Today, computers are in just about every home and people use them daily.Also most schools provide kids with access to technology they’ ve never had before. On the one hand, this is a useful tool to help children grow and learn, but on the other hand, it is also a dangerous element that can lead to bullying and other issues that can have a negative impact on life. For this reason, it is essential for parents to understand what they’re children are doing online to protect them and help them handle any issues that come their way. Nowadays social media is one of the most used types of websites by teenagers. This means it is commonly used for both good and bad purposes. It is important to understand, which types of behavior constitute social media bullying can help parents or teachers identify the kid has become a victim so they behavior can be handled appropriately. The consequences of bullying are varied. In my opinion, it is essential for parents, teachers and other adults to find ways to help children learn how to interact in a friendly manner and what they can do to fight against bullies.

Threat of loosing a job!

While using social media platforms for private reasons, one can create a reason for firing himself !

Most of us, use social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for personal reasons. We see them as a source and channel for expressing ourselves in an atmosphere, that we have already created from our friends or followers. Thus, we want to share our feelings, emotions and thoughts with people and hope they will get an idea of what we want them to know about us and feel about our actions. But have you ever thought that posting photo where you are holding a glass of wine and mug of beer can “help” you to loose a job?

Teacher from Georgia (USA), Ashley Payne has not thought about it definitely while posting the picture from her vacation in Europe!

 Returned from vacation, she discovered that she had problems with parents who discovered the photo and complained about it at high school she was working. Unfortunately, photo from vacation worth losing a job for her!

So, before posting anything to your personal pages, think for a minute, what will your boss think about it? Will she/he “like” it?

TheEllenShow

Ellen’s show is the funniest entertainment talk show, that uses advantages of social media and keeps the conversations alive with it’s online community. I follow Ellen show on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram platforms and I think that they successfully manage to communicate with people. They use social media to promote as well as to come up with new ideas for new episodes, they focus on celebrities and at the same time on ordinary people with unusual stories. On my view there are two keys for their succes in social media: greatest interaction with fans  and Ellen !
