“We cannot change the authoring experience.” This, more than anything else, is the message we used to be told (and still hear often) when we suggest a component-based structured authoring environment for medical writers at pharmaceutical companies. The authoring experience using Microsoft Word reigns supreme. Any changes to this interface
The pharma industry is no stranger to standards. Pharmaceutical companies have entire teams devoted to ensuring that all data and content is collected, created, managed, retained, and retired according to regulatory requirements.
In this webinar, we describe what content standards are and why they are important. We introduce the Five Dimensions of Content Standardization™. We show how our content standardization framework makes content FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable). Finally, we suggest some next steps that you can take to prepare your
The pharma industry has come together to develop technical solutions that speed time-consuming processes and reduce errors that can cause risk to the business and ultimately to patients.
We can no longer afford the costs of traditional, document-based content management in the pharmaceutical industry. We need pharma companies to prioritize content reuse and automation rather than manual, error-prone legacy processes.
To help create safe, effective medicines in less time, you must change how you “do” content. You need to harness the power of content reuse and automation. You also need to prepare for digital submissions and AI-based content generation. To do that, you need to move toward a component-based, structured
Most content challenges are ubiquitous, present in every vertical. Processes that don’t scale. Too much content to manage and yet the exact right content never seems to be at hand. Authors must copy and paste and (inevitably) tweak content, wasting time and increasing risk. The challenges of time, cost, and
The COVID-19 pandemic put tremendous pressure on drug-development organizations to accelerate product development far beyond anyone’s wildest roadmaps.
A reuse map is a blueprint for planned content reuse. Planned content reuse means that you identify ahead of time exactly which pieces of content will be reused in a specific output.
