The post UBC Announces Partnership with Osmind to Advance the Future of Mental Health Treatment and Research within REMS appeared first on UBC.

]]>
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA, 29 October 2024 — United BioSource LLC (UBC), a leading provider of evidence development solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry, today announced a partnership with Osmind Inc., the leading psychiatric treatment and research platform, to support clinicians and drug developers in delivering innovative treatments to patients with psychiatric conditions. This collaboration brings together UBC’s industry-leading expertise in Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) with Osmind’s purpose-built mental health electronic health record (EHR) platform to create a first-of-its-kind EHR integration for REMS based on the FDA-supported HL7® CodeX FHIR® Accelerator Community and REMS Integration Use Case.

A number of key stakeholders, including prescribers, nurses, pharmacists, REMS administrators, and drug manufacturers, play a role in fulfilling the REMS requirements. However, the lack of integration of REMS programs into prescriber workflows, and the absence of a standardized way to share data between REMS stakeholders, leads to additional administrative burden, reduces compliance, and drives up cost — ultimately delaying or reducing patient access to REMS drugs.

“We’re extremely happy to build on our continued commitment to, and investment in, the HL7 standards for the integration of REMS into prescriber workflows,” said Nate Thompson, Chief Information Officer at UBC. “This is an important initial step for standards adoption and for actualizing the promise of reduced burden, improved REMS compliance, and superior data quality.”

“As the industry leader in REMS services and technology, we look forward to working with Osmind to shape the future of psychiatric drug development by providing seamless access to real-world data and insights, thereby accelerating the delivery of novel therapies for patients,” said Natalie O’Donnell, Senior Vice President, Head of Safety and Risk Management at UBC.

The partnership is key to advancing:

  • Better patient care, by allowing prescribers using Osmind to remain in their existing workflow when submitting REMS-required documentation, thereby minimizing the need for additional data entry. This allows prescribers to focus on patient care instead of navigating to an external REMS website.
  • Reduced operational overhead for prescribers, dispensing staff, and REMS administrators, by eliminating the need for inbound faxes, which, in turn, reduces the amount of manual processing by the administrator.
  • Improved data quality by integrating information directly from the prescriber’s EHR into the REMS database in a secure, private system-to-system channel.
  • Enhanced REMS process efficiency, by speeding up the notification of safety events and simplifying REMS monitoring through the elimination of manual processing.
  • Increased REMS compliance for the prescriber’s office, the REMS, and the sponsor.

This initiative sets the stage for broader EHR-REMS integration in the future, including patient status forms, enrollment forms, diagnostic testing results, and more.

“Innovation in mental health care is advancing rapidly. But a significant gap remains between research and real-world patient care,” said Jimmy Qian, Co-founder, and President at Osmind. “Clinicians often struggle to keep pace with new treatments while managing the administrative burden of delivering them. Partnering with UBC, alongside other technology leaders, allows us to streamline these processes, accelerate access to breakthrough therapies, and enable clinicians to focus more on patients in need.”

The Citeline Awards have recognized UBC & Seqster’s innovative collaboration as a shortlisted finalist for the Best Patient-Facing Technology Initiative Category in 2023. This is the second year in a row that UBC has been a finalist in these awards after being shortlisted in the Clinical Research Team of the Year category in 2022.

In March 2022, UBC and Seqster launched an ongoing, longitudinal, real-world treatment outcomes study in the US of patients receiving treatment for a rare type of benign tumor in the joints that is disabling physically, mentally, and socially. The study objectives are to collect longitudinal patient-reported outcomes and clinical data on treatment patterns and clinical outcomes. Given that the patient population is a rare disease population receiving a medical therapy that is only accessible via managed distribution, site recruitment and site-based patient enrollment were challenging, and the research was impractical to conduct via sites exclusively.

UBC and Seqster partnered to amend the study into a direct-to-patient approach for enrollment using a secure, digital platform to access patients’ medical records. Once registered, patients are provided access to their patient portals through the SEQSTER solution to bring their electronic medical records (EMR) into the dashboard for the research team to perform data abstraction. This allows any eligible patients to be able to participate in the research without the need to enroll the patient’s treating physician as a site in the study. In this model, UBC can recruit 100% of the eligible patient population regardless of their geography or proximity to a site.

In this rare disease population, this methodology was fundamentally vital in enabling the research team to enroll a total number of patients that would generate meaningful analysis. Furthermore, this model reduces the burden on the healthcare provider for performing data abstraction as this activity is performed by a central team. The synergy between UBC and Seqster in putting Patients First created a natural fit for this partnership and allowed this research, which would not have been feasible in a traditional, site-based model, to succeed.

UBC is proud of the early results of this partnership and the recognition it has achieved with the Citeline Awards. To learn more about UBC’s lifecycle solutions in rare disease, click here.

The post UBC Successfully Implemented REMS Administration Software During HL7® FHIR® Connectathon appeared first on UBC.

]]>
Blue Bell, P.A., 22 February 2024United BioSource LLC (UBC), a leading provider of Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies for biopharma, recently participated in the Health Level Seven (HL7 ®) International Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR ®) Connectathon, 16 – 18 January 2024.

With a focus on enabling healthcare interoperability through FHIR, Connectathon participants meet several times a year to work alongside vendors, peers, healthcare providers, and administrators, to rapidly learn to implement the standard and validate their conformance to the specification and mature implementation guides. 

During Connectathon, UBC successfully implemented the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) administration software, including the CDS Hooks Services and SMART App Launch as described in scenario 1 and 2 against an EHR test system. 

“Connectathon participation is a critical component to advancing interoperability, and we are thankful for UBC’s efforts, as we were able to experience the workflows first-hand.  The process allows us to fine-tune the standards so we can efficiently integrate REMS into workflows, share data across stakeholders, and reduce burden on staff and patients,” said Kelee Petzelt, REMS Use Case Coordinator, Point of Care Partners/CodeX.

“The business value derived from this technology is best understood from the workflow of a prescriber” said Natalie O’Donnell, SVP, Head of Safety & Risk Management, UBC. The technology enables the prescriber, within their normal Electronic Health Records (EHR) system workflow, to be notified of a REMS and its applicable elements to assure safe use at the appropriate time – in this use case, when ordering a medication for a REMS covered drug.

In addition to being notified, the prescriber is also presented with an application user interface, still within their EHR and without the need for additional logins, etc., to supply the information required for the Elements to Assure Safe Use (ETASU), in this case a patient enrollment. 

 “A key component of this use case, championed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is automating interoperable exchange of standardized REMS data” said Saneel Vasram, Program Director, CodeX. “The shared CodeX vision and community-driven effort to reduce REMS clinical workflow burden, technical implementation effort and improved quality of REMS data is integral to optimizing safe medication use and health outcomes.”

Within the just-in-time prompt and in workflow user interface, most if not all the data can be supplied directly from the EHR to the REMS form and the prescriber data entry will be eliminated or severely reduced.  “This creates enormous value for a REMS implementation by reducing burden to prescribers, patients, and indirectly pharmacies, as their patients will be more likely to arrive at the pharmacy with the proper ETASU documentation in place,” said Ms. O’Donnell. The streamlined process will improve compliance and therefore overall safety.

This category recognizes companies that exceed customer expectations in meeting overall project timelines, operational excellence, and staff turnover. UBC was previously recognized for these awards for our work in Phase IV research in 2018 and 2019.

The CRO Leadership Awards are Clinical Leader and Life Science Leader’s industry awards backed by a quality benchmarking survey sent to pharmaceutical companies by ISR Reports. UBC is honored to be recognized by our customers from the past 18 months as an overall winner in the Reliability category.

At the awards ceremony during DIA’s Global Annual Meeting, Head of Evidence Development Aaron Berger sat down with Penelope Przekop from PDC Pharma Strategy to discuss the award, what it means for UBC, and what helps drive UBC’s reputation in the industry.

Congratulations to UBC’s Evidence Development team on this accomplishment! Learn more about UBC’s research services that operate at the intersection of access and evidence here.

Seattle and Blue Bell, P.A., June 27, 2023 – Tasso, Inc., the leading provider of patient-centric clinical-grade blood collection solutions, and United BioSource LLC (UBC), a leading provider of evidence development solutions for the biopharmaceutical industry, today announced a partnership to provide more efficient, streamlined, and convenient sample collection and analysis options for post-approval research to improve study design and enable a better patient experience.

The new partnership will bring together Tasso’s devices for at-home, virtually painless clinical-grade blood sample collection and end-to-end collection and analysis solutions with UBC’s late-stage research expertise in evidence development and participant support services, including digital recruitment and engagement strategies, powerful real-world data infrastructure and rapid analytics software. Together, the two companies will offer a complete solution for biopharmaceutical companies seeking to improve participant retention and compliance, boost patient engagement, and enroll more diverse patient populations in decentralized post-approval studies.

Tasso and UBC have recently been awarded a late-stage biomarker monitoring study, with additional projects expected to follow.

“This collaboration combines UBC’s expertise in modernized study design and execution with our innovative offerings to create an unprecedented new solution for patient-centric, decentralized research,” said Ben Casavant, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Tasso, Inc. “Importantly, the collaboration will not only provide sponsors with the high-quality data they require but will also drive much-needed improvement in the patient experience and trial participant diversity.”

Research utilizing the joint offering will be powered by Tasso’s integrated solutions to streamline blood sample collection and analysis. After sponsors provide a list of samples needed, Tasso will handle shipping at-home blood collection kits directly to research participants, manage transport of samples to an analytical laboratory that has validated the specific test(s) needed, and communicate lab results back to the sponsor. The fully integrated Tasso Connect portal will ensure samples can be tracked with out-of-the-box functionality, and for seamless connectivity, partners can link with their own systems through Tasso’s API integration.

“With today’s rapidly evolving post-approval drug development requirements, there’s a real need to help sponsors efficiently, effectively, and safely execute and manage late-stage and real-world evidence generation research programs that meet regulatory and payer requirements and support their product commercialization objectives,” said Aaron Berger, Head of Evidence Development, UBC. “Our partnership with Tasso allows us to collectively provide flexible, integrated, and innovative offerings that improve the patient experience and advance decentralized research methods.”
