CEO Jamie Macdonald joins industry experts to discuss the importance of better collaboration among pharma, CROs and sites for improved patient engagement
Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 3, 2014 – INC Research, a therapeutically focused global clinical research organization (CRO) with a Trusted Process® for delivering reliable results, today announced CEO Jamie Macdonald will participate in a panel discussion on evolving outsourcing models at Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Fifth Annual Summit for Clinical Operations Pharmaceutical Executives (SCOPE), Feb. 4-6, 2014, in Miami, Fla. In addition to Macdonald’s participation in a panel discussion, Company experts will be on-hand at Booth #10 to discuss how its unique risk-based monitoring approach keeps customers, investigative sites and patients more connected throughout the entire clinical development process.
“With cost and timeline pressures mounting, it’s time to take a hard look at our existing relationship models to determine how we can more effectively allocate resources to improve the drug development process for all involved,” said INC Research CEO Jamie Macdonald. “SCOPE provides an opportunity for key industry stakeholders to discuss how to break down the silos and let go of some of the more traditional relationship models. We look forward to sharing how INC Research is accelerating delivery of products to patients by connecting with sites and patients more effectively through a combination of cutting-edge technologies and therapeutic and operational expertise.”
Macdonald’s panel discussion, “New Frontiers in Collaboration among Key Industry Stakeholders” takes place on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 4:55 p.m. The panel will offer attendees an opportunity to hear from key industry stakeholders as they re-examine traditional pharma/CRO/site relationship models.
At SCOPE, INC Research also will be comparing different approaches to risk-based monitoring, including its own Strategic Data Monitoring solution, which takes a more holistic approach through the development of fit-for-purpose operational strategies. Visitors can stop by the INC Research Booth #10 to pick up a copy of Risk-Based Monitoring: An overview of best practice recommendations for a summary of the latest approaches toward monitoring to improve efficiency, data quality and patient safety.
