Global Literature Surveillance Project
Our Approach
Transition and Onboarding
Initial Team and ETLQ Team: Deployment of an Empowered Training, Learning & Quality (ETLQ) team which comprised some of our existing team members and new hires whose experience exceeded the required minimum. This team remained active throughout the project implementation to be the group to provide training & guidance, to review complex cases, and to share learning during daily/weekly huddles.
Rapid Recruitment: Onboarding of experienced safety associates in the team and deployment of Drug Safety Physicians to guide/mentor the team and develop training protocols
Robust Communication: Identified and deployed SMEs for each functional area: project management, technical leadership, quality function, technology function, commercial/finance etc. to ensure rapid progress in the project deployment.
Stabilization Approach and Governance
Hands on Training: Team Training on software platform with review of over 60,000 publications in the test environment during training-mentorship program
Hands on practical pre-Go-Live simulation: Volume based Go-Live simulations for 2 scenarios – 100% volume. Executed successfully by Soterius with feedback and learning sessions for both simulations.
Mentorship Circles: 1 SME for 3-4 personnel providing close personal support and supervision.
Project Collaboration: Daily Huddles, regular interaction amongst the Soterius SMEs and Client’s SME to discuss urgent issues and meetings to discuss project progress
Governance: In-Person Governance meetings to monitor pilot results, feedback on process improvements, deployment preparation and Go-Live.
