Title: Keynote Presentation: 2008 Market Factors for Business Planning in the Life Sciences
Presenter: Scott Lundstrom, Research Vice President, Health Industry Insights
Abstract: Scott Lundstrum, Research VP at Health Industry Insights, will open the PPM Media Life Sciences Technology conference by presenting research findings on the major trends that are impacting the life science ecosystem and transforming business and technology in 2008. These factors include the need for improved organizational effectiveness and increasing globalization, data integration and interoperability. These imperatives continue to force major changes in IT spending and sharpen the industry's focus on cost containment, process improvements and improved patient outcomes.
Title: Information Transparency to Drive Knowledge-Based Drug Development.
Presenter: Dr. Alan S. Louie, Ph.D., Research Director, Health Industry Insights
Abstract: The vision of knowledge-based drug development, including personalized medicine, is critically dependent on the ability to effectively utilize the growing wealth of data both inside and outside of the organization. Transforming data into knowledge will require much more than electronic notebooks, database integration, and workflow tools to be successful. This presentation will discuss the growing options, including systems biology, semantic equivalence, and business intelligence, to better exploit assets, both data and human, to successfully transition to a knowledge-based future.
Title: Electronic Data Lifecycle Management: Managing Information for Clinical and Legal Compliance.
Presenter: Judy Hanover, Research Manager, Health Industry Insights
Abstract: The focus of development has been on the cultivation and analysis of clinical data. The expansion of therapeutics into new indications and the role of corporate governance on the clinical development process is forcing academic institutions, pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device organizations to rethink how they manage the relationship between clinical, non-clinical, operational and financial information. This session will review the current environment for tools that manage non-clinical data, including data mapping and source selection, access methods and automation of data movement and analysis.
Title: Supply Chain Evolution: The Next Generation of Commercial Life Science Management
Presenter: Scott Lundstrom, Vice President Research, Health Industry Insights
Abstract: Technology is quickly rewriting the ground rules of the commercial life science landscape. Process analytical technologies intend to modernize drug manufacturing and improve quality assurance. Drug pedigrees, item level serialization, RFID, and 852/867 data aim to revolution supply chain management and drastically reduce revenue leakage from inefficient chargebacks and product returns. Inventory management agreements, fee-for-service agreements, and cross-border drug trade continue to reshape the ways manufacturers and distributors interact. And IT outsourcing is quickly becoming core to industry-wide cost-reduction strategies. All of these topics and more will be discussed as we look at what lies ahead for the commercial life science market.
The analysts from Health Industry Insights will lead a number of interactive panel discussions featuring executives from leading life sciences enterprises, technology vendors, and industry organizations. Among the anticipated topics the panels will cover are:
