Pharmacy Manual Optimization
The Pharmacy Manual greatly impacts a site’s execution and quality.

These documents will align with pharmacy best practices to ensure correct dosing, preparation, and administration for patient care, resulting in increased compliance and reduced protocol deviations.

Save time, money and frustration with efficiency and effectiveness.
Create effective, site-specific solutions for operational, clinical, and quality issues arising within a pharmacy, enhancing sponsor credibility and support of trial sites.
Translate Drug Content Changes into Clinical Trials
Pharmacists uniquely understand the impact of product changes to drug delivery and end-user workflow.
Advise Product Development Team on implementation strategy and logistics from a pharmacist end-user perspective. Promote collaboration between Product Development and Clinical Operations to implement drug content changes into clinical trials programs.
Refine Drug Information
Details and consistency are what drive safety and execution within the pharmacy.
Provide pharmacy-tailored medical writing and review, ensure drug information is aligned and consistent across all documents (e.g. protocol, IB, pharmacy manual, training materials, patient consent language), and meets healthcare writing standards and guidelines. Reduce the number of reviews for the Product Development Team.
TESTIMONIALS
“Zoe ‘translated’ between Product Development and pharmacists. She brought to our group her knowledge about drug administration practices and what is common in clinical settings, experience with the typical logistical roadblocks for making changes, and understanding concerns of both ClinOps and PDM. She helped us understand that saying ‘change this’ isn’t a magic wand and was able to help us communicate and figure out the best way to make it happen with ClinOps. It would have been nearly impossible for us to keep up with the core work of the PDM team while also fully supporting ClinOps without her.”

“Before Zoe, we would have cross-functional reviews of almost anything regarding drug product. Zoe was able to swiftly make decisions which not only saved our team time but also brought confidence with the decision. She was basically the encyclopedia of all things pharmacy. She streamlined the pharmacy manuals so they were more manageable and was also a great resource to connect with site pharmacists with issues. They felt comfortable speaking with her because of her background.”
