Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk

What: Webinar: "Business and Operational Risks in Clinical and Safety: Applying Appropriate Technology and Approaches to Mitigate Risk"

All business processes are subject to some level of risk. Key to the long term viability of any company is the critical need to identify the risks, quantify them, minimize them, and have a clear plan for dealing with any residual risks.

Organizations try to mitigate risks by implementing systems that support the company's business processes. Commercial software systems that are available from vendors such as Oracle include many capabilities which, if implemented properly, greatly reduce the risks in the business process.

The implementation of complex systems is, in itself, a risky process. Organizations like BioPharm Systems have been able to use their wide range of experience to develop pre-configured and pre-validated solutions that help reduce the risks during the implementation of a clinical trial management system (CTMS) and a safety system.

This one and a half-hour webinar will provide an overview of business risks related to clinical and safety systems and will illustrate how the risks inherent in implementing complex CTMS and safety systems can be significantly reduced.

Full Description:
The Developing Brain and Definition of Autism
During this one- hour webinar, we will discuss a number of factors that are changing the nature of brain development in the fetus, child, and teen. Some of the causes of change have been attributed to environmental transformations and altered social systems. Specifically, the brain being altered in areas of gene expression, oxidative stress, inflammation, endocrine changes, metabolic insufficiency, immune system errors, and neural tube migration disorders. Autism is defined as limitations in prefrontal cortical development, qualitative impairment in social interaction, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. Areas of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) will be examined using research that suggests this area of the brain may be compromised in many childhood developmental disorders.

Course Includes:
Live Q&A
Presentation Handout
Post session recording access
CE Credit

What You Will Learn:
Define how the environment and toxicity affect the developing brain.
Identify the steps in oxidative stress and inflammation.
Describe the research being done to estimate the increase in developmental disorders.
List the reasons for having more males affected by epigenetics.
Recognize the three parts of the Prefrontal Cortex and their functions.
