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.

Outcome

Successful project implementation

100% compliance to the 5 key milestones (including hiring, training, pilot phase) set up by the client till Go-Live.

Performing global literature surveillance with over 150,000 literature publications annually with 100% compliance to timelines and 99% quality KPIs.
