HOPA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force Formalizes Association’s Commitment to Health Equity

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Maurice Alexander, PharmD, BCOP, CPP is the Chair of HOPA’s DEI Task Force

Longstanding systems of racism and inequity significantly impact the lives of many HOPA members and patients. It is important for HOPA to support those with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and lived experiences.


MILWUAKEE (PRWEB)

The Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA) Task Force for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has released the association’s official DEI statement online. The statement is integral to HOPA’s commitment to advocating for equitable health policies and more inclusive research studies, as well as for diversifying its educational products and resources to reflect the needs of all hematology/oncology pharmacy professionals.

“We assembled the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force to help formalize our commitment to our patients and our members,” says HOPA President Larry W. Buie, PharmD, BCOP, FCCP, FASHP, and Clinical Pharmacy Manager at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “The statement is one of many ways we have accomplished that.”

HOPA’s membership and retention efforts, as well as its leadership elections and member award programs, will also be facilitated through a clearer DEI lens, thanks to the work of the task force.

“Bringing DEI to the forefront of our priorities allows HOPA to better align with the needs of our membership and the communities we serve,” says HOPA DEI Task Force Vice-Chair, Britny Brown, PharmD, BCOP, and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy.

“Longstanding systems of racism and inequity significantly impact the lives of many HOPA members and patients,” explains HOPA DEI Task Force Chair, Maurice Alexander, PharmD, BCOP, CPP, and Clinical Manager of Hematology/Oncology Clinical Pharmacy Services at the University of North Carolina Medical Center. “It is important for HOPA to support those with diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and lived experiences.”

Dr. Alexander explains that HOPA’s commitment extends to all races, religions, genders, orientations, ages and abilities. So, the task force has worked to devise a DEI approach that considers all disadvantaged and marginalized populations. He and Dr. Brown led a group of 12 HOPA task force members through a comprehensive review of policies and procedures and worked directly with council, committee, and board leaders to create a culture centered on DEI.

Dr. Brown says HOPA set the bar high for the DEI Task Force. “We were given the opportunity to re-envision HOPA with DEI as a central focus. We knew this was more than a one-time commitment from leadership.”

Later this year, the HOPA DEI Task Force, which is a time-limited initiative, will disband and a DEI Committee will be formed.

About HOPA:

The Hematology/Oncology Pharmacy Association (HOPA) supports hematology/oncology pharmacy professionals and promotes the role of the pharmacist in collaborative cancer care. Founded in 2004, HOPA provides crucial education, networking, and advancement opportunities frequently sought by pharmacists, pharmacy interns, residents, fellows, students, technicians, researchers, and administrators who specialize in hematology/oncology pharmacy. Its vision is to ensure that all individuals affected by cancer have a hematology/oncology pharmacist as an integral member of their care team.

Survey Finds Fewer Than 3% of Pre-Market Medical Device Companies Are Very Effective at Measuring the Results of Quality Initiatives

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

https://www.greenlight.guru/

High-performing companies stand out by viewing quality as more than a compliance effort and injecting quality into product development and supplier management processes.


INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)

Greenlight Guru, pioneer of the only dedicated Medical Device Success Platform (MDSP), today announced findings from its 2022 benchmark study on product development, quality management, and commercialization efforts in the medical device industry. This original research report provides the medical device community with insights into key benchmarks, industry challenges, quality management preparedness, and what leading companies are doing differently.

With three years of data to compare, the 2022 report shows year-over-year declines in the use of general purpose tools for product development and quality activities. Despite these year-over-year improvements, a third of pre-market companies still attempt to get by with these general purpose tools.

This report also reveals that use of general purpose tools correlates with lower performance. Furthermore, companies that are unwilling to invest in purpose built tools put themselves at risk for significant and expensive consequences — from silent inefficiencies to missed performance signals and compliance threats.

“We found that more companies are instituting feedback loops for quality problems, but a significant number of medical device companies still struggle to leverage quality as an asset to accelerate their development,” said David DeRam, CEO of Greenlight Guru. “High-performing companies stand out by viewing quality as more than a compliance effort and injecting quality into product development and supplier management processes. This is why 81% of high-performing market leaders maintain a strong feedback loop between these teams.”

Survey data also revealed that accelerating product development is a critical priority for companies in 2022, with nearly 2 out of 3 executives (63%) citing it. This represents a 37 point jump in just 12 months.

Despite the anticipated growth, the COVID-19 pandemic still exposed defects in important processes like supplier management that previously lay dormant. More than 3 in 4 respondents say their supplier quality management program is average or below average. “COVID really revealed how risky we were behaving with very little supplier qualification,” shared one survey respondent. “We found many of our suppliers were also in much riskier positions than we thought.”

Additional findings from the report include:

  • While 8 in 10 predict growth for the year ahead, only 8% report feeling very well equipped to meet objectives in 2022.

  • 80% of high-performing market leaders in the field say they have processes in place to connect quality issues to R&D and management.

  • Speeding product development and approvals is a priority for executives while management sees a critical need to upgrade systems and processes to stay audit-ready.

  • Just 28% say they have achieved “high visibility” into quality data — meaning the people who need to access quality information can readily consult it.

Results from the 2022 benchmark study were driven from an online survey that was fielded between November 4 and November 30, 2021. Survey respondents consisted of 519 participants, of whom are employed in quality, product development, and executive management positions by device organizations ranging in size from small to enterprise-level that are located in various regions around the world.

To get a deeper dive into the report findings, register for the upcoming 2022 State Of Medical Device True Quality Virtual Summit Series and attend engaging panel discussions from industry experts. Discover what high-performing companies do differently and gain actionable insights to take your organization to the next level.

This release follows the announcement of True Quality 2022, the must-attend conference hosted by Greenlight Guru for medical device executives, quality, and regulatory professionals who drive innovation in the most high-performing medical device companies.

Clinical laboratory tests are critical to the management of patients and the diagnosis of disease throughout the world. These in vitro tests rely on a wide variety of instruments to measure the relevant analytes in all types of body fluids, including serum, blood, urine, and others. The laboratory instruments are used for everything from performing routine assays that identify early indications of disease to tests that aid in the diagnosis of illness for patients with complaints and symptoms.

Understanding what influences user satisfaction with laboratory instrumentation, instrument service, and instrument manufacturers is key to helping manufacturers ensure that these tests are performed in a timely manner on accurate and reliable equipment.

IMV produces an annual series of proprietary ServiceTrak™ Clinical Laboratory reports derived from extensive phone and online interviews with laboratory testing professionals in hospitals in the U.S. These reports present an independent analysis of service trends in laboratory diagnostics and include manufacturer ratings for each instrument type. Laboratory professionals are asked to rate their level of satisfaction with the instrument manufacturers, the system performance, and the service received for their laboratory testing instruments. Satisfaction ratings are collected on a 10-point scale, in which 10 = “excellent” and 1 = “very poor.” Report analysis is based on the percentage of highly satisfied (%HS) responses, which are represented by satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 on this scale.

The awards are presented to the manufacturer with the highest %HS responses in each of three categories, representing the industry Best of Customer Satisfaction, System Performance, and Service. The Best of Customer Satisfaction award is given to the manufacturer that has the highest %HS responses when respondents are asked to rate the likelihood they will purchase again from their current manufacturer. The Best of System Performance award is given to the manufacturer whose customers have the highest %HS responses when asked to rate their overall system performance. The Best of Service award is given to the manufacturer whose customers give the highest %HS responses when asked to rate overall OEM service performance.
