Today, pharmaceutical
companies have the ability to generate and
collect tremendous
sums of complex biological and patient data.
But many
pharmaceuticals take a paper-based approach to capturing
data, a process laden with administrative costs, redundancies,
and possibilities of erroneous data entry. To address
the information challenges of the pharmaceutical industry,
Digital Infuzion offers a
range of complementary IT services
and informatics strategies to improve data management,
streamline operations, and ease the transition to an integrated
electronic environment. Clients we have served in this
industry include:
 |
Serono Pharmaceuticals |
|
BioRosettex, a division of Sarnoff Corporation |
For BioRosettex, we have provided technical infrastructure support in their work for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

Systems
Analysis, Design, and Integration
Many of today’s pharmaceuticals are riddled
with isolated enterprise applications that do
not successfully collaborate. To leverage the
full potential of these applications, Digital
Infuzion’s systems engineers conduct full
systems analyses of existing clinical operations
and IT infrastructure, and identify areas for
improvement. Working closely with our client,
we then deploy teams of clinical IT experts to
integrate disconnected system components. What
results is a scalable, robust system that can
more efficiently manage the information technology
needs of a dynamic clinical environment.
Migration to
a Fully Electronic Environment
To help pharmaceuticals move from costly paper-based
operations to a fully-integrated electronic data
capture (EDC) environment, Digital Infuzion provides
Web services and database technology solutions
tailored to the workflows, processes, and information
requirements of clinical workers, administrators,
and stakeholders. We offer complete solutions
in this area, with services in business process
reengineering, vendor analysis and selection,
software development, systems engineering, implementation,
and training.
Data Mining and
Business Intelligence Solutions
We employ data mining solutions to uncover previously
unknown patterns of information in your databases
and derive reports that form the basis for strategic
decisions and action. Whether you need a better
understanding of the market or a new plan to achieve
competitive advantage, our business intelligence
experts offer technical solutions that will help
you make the best use of your enterprise data.
Developing and
Implementing Standards to Support Interoperability
We design clinical databases and clinical site
monitoring systems using existing or emerging
industry standards (such as those defined by CDISC,
HL7, and MedDRA) to ensure data interoperability
during each stage of drug discovery and development.
This involves the application of standardized
schemas, extensive Web services, and data transformation
tools.
More on our interoperability services >>
To further promote interoperability, we have also
developed a software tool called the Clinical
Data Interchange SwitchTM, which enables seamless
integration of clinical data between sponsors
and clinical sites.
