Conflict of Interest Compliance: Paper or Web-based Solution?

The business processes and administrative procedures at healthcare organizations are tightly controlled and regulated. Yet the information technology systems that run these organizations are used by a wide variety of professionals whose attention is more focused on good medicine and research.

Conflict of interest (COI) compliance is a complex discipline with many moving parts. In large healthcare organizations, with many projects and research professionals, the process can be daunting. Manual compliance processes are time and resource intensive and most off-the-shelf systems are woefully inadequate for managing COI compliance in medical research, leaving organizations with substantial risk and liability exposure.

To address this problem, institutions are moving over to web-based compliance management systems to take the place of existing paper-based manual methods. They are designed to reduce risk, reduce cost, save time and increase productivity. Osprey Software Solutions has introduced Osprey COI RiskManager™, an enterprise-class compliance management system designed with the guidance and support of Partners™ Healthcare.

“After more than three years of use and rigorous testing at Partners HealthCare, we are confident that Osprey COI RiskManager is a reliable, efficient, and user friendly solution to report and proactively identify potential conflict of interest issues at medical organizations,” said Scott McNeal, Director, Research Enterprise Applications at Partners HealthCare.

As research projects continue to grow and COI compliance becomes more complex, more and more institutions will be trading up the paper process in favor of web-based solutions to streamline the management process.

Partners HealthCare and Osprey Software Solutions Team Up for Conflict of Interest Solution

WALTHAM, Mass. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Osprey Software Solutions has announced the introduction of Osprey COI RiskManagerTM, an enterprise-class compliance management system designed to automate conflict of interest (COI) reporting at hospitals and medical research facilities. Osprey COI RiskManager was built from the ground up using the demanding COI reporting processes and best practices at Partners HealthCare as the application model.

"After more than three years of use and rigorous testing at Partners HealthCare, we are confident that Osprey COI RiskManager is a reliable, efficient, and user friendly solution to report and proactively identify potential conflict of interest issues at medical organizations," said Scott McNeal, Director, Research Enterprise Applications at Partners HealthCare.

At the heart of Osprey COI RiskManager, is a web-based workflow framework that provides interactive forms and questionnaires that can be fitted to an organization's own COI process simply by snapping questions into custom workflow templates. "COI RiskManager makes is easy for researchers to comply because the disclosure automatically adjusts itself, in real-time, based upon the responses," said Chris Cazer, CEO of Osprey Software Solutions. "COI RiskManager automatically prompts for follow-up, and alerts researchers and oversight managers as necessary. Using the system's FormsWizardTM, templates are easily customized by the end user making it simple to integrate any of their own forms and workflow approval processes."

Osprey COI RiskManagerTM offers several options for quick, easy deployment, including ‘instant on' in Osprey's secure service bureau, or behind the organization's firewall, where the organization can manage its own security.

"Osprey COI RiskManager has automated Partners' COI reporting program and has given the Partners organization quick visibility into existing and potentially problematic relationships, so they can be addressed," added McNeal.
