The untold benefits of a digital maintenance strategy for pharma

Hospitals are continually adapting to new models of care and payment, the success of which is often measured at least in part by overall patient satisfaction. Patient satisfaction comes from a multitude of areas affected by nearly everyone on the care team, and the medical laboratory lies at an important intersection for not only measuring patient outcomes and satisfaction but for affecting positive change through laboratory initiatives.

Historically, distillation has been the most common technology used to produce Water for Injection (WFI), due to prior process advantages and historical regulatory requirements. Changes in the European Pharmacopeiano longer require the use of distillation systems to produce WFI. In this webcast, learn about the impact of this regulatory change on water system design and how reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration can be used to produce WFI with significant lifecycle cost advantages.

The composition of pharmaceutical tablets and the distribution of ingredients therein can be determined using chemical imaging by vibrational microscopy.

Incorporation of patient-focused drug design principles is increasingly becoming essential to ensure that a new drug is commercially successful and delivers the best patient outcomes. Often, patient factors and insights are not considered or discovered until the later phases of drug development when dose form, dose strength, and route of administration are already decided. There is tremendous potential benefit of equipping formulators and other scientists with patient insights earlier in the development process so that the drug product can be designed to address the specific needs of target patient populations.
