IntraLinks Enhances its SaaS-Based Safety Document Exchange Solution for the Life Sciences Industry
By Intralinks, PRNETuesday, June 8, 2010
NEW YORK, June 9, 2010 - IntraLinks, a leading provider of critical information exchange
solutions, today announced an enhanced version of its SaaS-based Safety
Document Exchange, a scalable solution for safety teams that manage reporting
for Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) around the world. IntraLinks' Safety
Document Exchange enables users to save time and money related to SAE intake
and subsequent safety letter distribution, while adding a layer of security
and control to the process. Key enhancements delivered in the new release
include configurable rules-based automated workflow, intuitive organization
and user-based views, and detailed compliance reporting.
A significant number of the largest global pharmaceutical companies,
biotechs and Contact Research Organizations (CROs) have turned to IntraLinks
for safety document distribution. They have found that emailing, faxing and
mailing safety documents is both inefficient and expensive.
Using IntraLinks, safety teams can quickly receive SAE reports from
sites, route them for review, and instantaneously distribute safety letters
in a secure, online environment to all parties requiring notification, in an
automated and trackable fashion. The enhanced Safety Document Exchange
provides a simple and easy-to-use solution that eliminates paper and manual
processes:
- The new workflow automation allows IntraLinks customers to establish various automatic distribution rules for Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs), based on handling requirements for different regions, IRBs, CROs and other parties that require notification, which reduces cycle time and streamlines multi-part distribution. - Users can set preferences that allow them to view only the information that is related to their interests and in the most appropriate format. For example, a sponsor team member can choose to view safety details by compound, study or region. - On-demand reporting capabilities allow safety teams to generate real-time compliance reports that provide a record of distribution, access, and delivery failure, which includes being able to see who received the report and when they viewed it.
"Time is critical when an SAE occurs and it's crucial that secure
communication processes are in place, enabling safety teams to receive the
information as soon as possible and take immediate action," said Alison
Shurell, VP, life sciences product marketing, IntraLinks. "Traditional
methods of distribution are no longer practical or efficient and can have
severe repercussions both for patient safety and company reputation. Our
Safety Document Exchange solution helps the pharmaceutical industry to
rapidly respond to SAEs and manage safety document distribution and
reporting, while adhering to strict compliance regulations."
IntraLinks is exhibiting at DIA's 46th Annual Meeting in Washington,
D.C., from June 14 - 16. IntraLinks will be at booth number 1703.
