DocWay Pharma Portal

The DocWay Pharma Portal components can be applied to multiple processes within the Life Sciences industry. The following examples show possible ways to develop portal screens to assist in the investigator-initiated trials area. Customized implementation of DocWay Pharma Portal address management, internal field representatives, and investigators/key opinion leaders.

This Home Page for executives provides an overview of active studies and publications as well as alerts to upcoming deliverables. This information can be presented as an executive dashboard, rolling up existing statistics and linking to internal and external information sources.

Internal Field Representatives

Many organizations interface with key opinion leaders and investigators through internal field representatives. These representatives are sometimes referred to as Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs). In most cases, internal employees are mobile and require easy access to corporate information. The portal provides the perfect medium for bi-directional information exchange.

This example Home Page allows MSLs to view proposal statuses and investigator information, and to manage their schedules. Based on the MSL's preferences, DoWay Pharma Portal provides alerts for upcoming deliverables as well as information on future critical events. This screen also allows the MSL to access helpful internal tools and templates critical to their success.

External Partners

External partners are critical to the success of all Life Sciences organizations. These partners come in the form of suppliers, consultants, key opinion leaders, and investigators. Although these partners are outside of the organization, they play a critical part in its internal success. Their timely and accurate response can influence the overall success of your product. In the following example, the investigator initiates a request to conduct a clinical study for the purpose of creation of marketing material. The timely completion of this study can result in positive marketing information for the sponsor.

The Investigator Home Page provides investigators with an overview of the milestones for their proposals, studies, and publications. The screen offers alerts that notify investigators of any news affecting them or their studies. It also provides information on future Medical Congresses. Investigators can use this screen to email their MSL or to access helpful tools and templates.
