Les, if you are interested in improving processes and quality (in FDA regulated environments) you might find the event I'm bringing to Indianapolis to be of interest. It's called Documentation and Training Life Sciences and it takes place June 23-26, 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Union Station in downtown Indianapolis. The event aims at folks who create, manage, and deliver content in pharma, medical device, and health and hospital corporations.

The types of process improvements we will be talking about are related to streamlining what we call the content management life cycle, looking for ways to automate currently manual tasks, leveraging the power of software to assist humans in getting their work done faster. As you may know, one day of delay in submitting a new drug application to FDA on a blockbuster drug can be equal to over $1million US in lost opportunity costs. So, shaving a few days of the entire cycle can reap tremendous rewards.

Most life sciences organizations have strated to realize that the writers, editors, illustrators, web developers, marketing pros and others they pay to create, manage, and deliver content to those who require it (regulators, employees, partners, affiliates, shareholders, media, customers, etc.) are not "artists". Sure, they are creative, but they need to be governed and controlled by a formal, repeatable process and software tools designed to increase productivity while simultaneously reducing unnecessary manual tasks, and eliminating problems in content that create unnecessary expense or risk.

These and many other content challenges will be discussed at the event. Pre- and post- conference workshops are offered on June 23 and 26 to teach folks about some of the more challenging topics ... ones in which a presentation of 60 minutes would not be sufficient.

Let me know if you (or anyone you know) is interested in attending. Smaller Indiana members will have a special discount offer made available through the website shortly.

Hope to see you at the event.

Scott

Maybe we should ask Dave K to join the group ??? I looked at your website. It really touches on a neglected area around demographics. I will keep in touch around the work. I am also looking for additional opportunities either locally or at W Lafayette or Bloomington. The experience that I have surely should be useful to a new company. Thanks

Hi Les, it is great to hear from you!!! Life is interesting that is for sure. I am enjoying what I am doing and learning a lot from dealing with IRB issues, but at least we now have approval and can start enrolling subjects in our study. www.indianahealthstudy.org
I see Dave K now and then and have connected him to a start up in Bloomington. If they get 21 fund or angel money, they might need your help. The company is Spherosense and I am on the board. Take care!
Cynthia

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
