Advanced Health Media (AHM), a global provider of technology and service solutions, has the released the CentrisConnect, a cloud-based portal solution designed to streamline compliant interactions between life science companies and Healthcare Professionals (HCP’s) and Organizations (HCO’s).
CentrisConnect acts as a one-stop-shop resource center by consolidating disparate sources of interaction information into a single portal that can be accessed via the web – across any device. As a result, life science companies and HCP’s are able to share information and communicate in a compliant manner.
“Today, life science companies interact with HCP’s and HCO’s in many different ways as part of their business process that may result in a transfer of value”, said Senthil Namasivayam, VP Global Solutions Management at AHM. “These interactions are often required to go through a number of business and compliance processes in order to comply with corporate policies and procedures, industry guidelines and/or local/federal regulations. In cases like fee-for-service engagements, such as speaker programs, consulting and advisory boards, processes often require HCP involvement. In other cases, the HCP may be notified or provided with information such as spend pre-disclosure to follow a company’s approach to regulatory reporting such as Sunshine, EFPIA, and data privacy requirements. These various interaction points can often present challenges for life science companies who are looking to centralize and streamline interactions to enable compliance, enhance operational efficiency, and improve customer service.”
CentrisConnect leverages AHM’s leading-edge compliance platform, CentrisDirect; offering a robust configuration of business rules and associated business processes to empower life science companies to tailor CentrisConnect to their organizational needs.
Key Product Features: Seamlessly Integrates with CentrisEvents for speaker bureau and event management; Responsive Device/Browser Agnostic User Interface; Profile View and Updates; Consents; Program Details; eContracting; Training; Slide Management (Content Library); Event Management Logistics; Pre-disclosure Reporting; Payment & Expense Reporting and Payment Tracking
AHM has been providing HCP portal solutions to its clients for many years, and CentrisConnect is the next generation solution. “In addition to a robust suite of enhanced functionality, CentrisConnect takes advantage of the benefits afforded by our new CentrisDirect platform such as global scalability and deployment advantages, an improved and intuitive user interface that is mobile friendly, and the flexibility offered by robust configuration management that adapts well to the changing landscape of regulation and policies”, said Namasivayam.
“Today the health care industry faces intensifying policy and regulation causing life science companies to implement necessary controls to effectively manage and monitor their interactions with HCP’s,” said Nigel Whitehead, AHM CEO. “It is important that any HCP interaction with financial components are not only carefully monitored and controlled to meet compliance requirements, but provide information that is consolidated, reliable, easily accessible, and results in a positive customer experience”.
CentrisConnect is available now and has received significant interest from the market with implementations currently under way and others scheduled for 2015.
