Healthcare companies continually strive to communicate important information about their drugs and devices to diverse audiences comprised of patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and the general public. The use of plain language written communication can help ensure key health information and clinical research findings are understandable and accessible to all.  

But you might wonder “Isn’t plain language intended only for patient and caregiver consumption?  HCPs want factual, scientifically rigorous content, not the simplified messaging of plain language writing.”  The answer is…. not always.  The deliberate and targeted incorporation of plain language content into selected HCP communication channels can be an effective tool in your omnichannel communication plan.   

Join us as we present information you can use to develop effective HCP-focused plain language content such as: 

  • Key elements of plain language content – what it is and what it isn’t
  • How incorporation of plain language content into HCP-focused assets can create added value in HCP – patient interactions
  • Common content formats that can be enhanced by the use of plain language content
  • The elements of the Visual SRD and why HCPs prefer this format
  • How innovative use of plain language and infographics in HCP communications can support Medical Affairs as part of its omnichannel communication framework.

[FREE WEBINAR] Developing Effective Patient-Focused Content: Writing Plain Language Lay Summaries and SSCP Patient Sections

 

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

Healthcare companies continually strive to communicate important information about their drugs and devices to diverse audiences comprised of patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals (HCPs), and the general public. The use of plain language written communication can help ensure key health information and clinical research findings are understandable and accessible to all. 
 
In this second presentation of our Deep-Dive: Plain Language Writing webinar series, we will focus on best practices that guide the development of common forms of plain language communication intended for the patient, their families and/or caregivers, such as the: 
• Patient section of an EU MDR-compliant Summary of Safety and Clinical Performance (SSCP) for all Class III and Active Implantable Medical Devices (AIMD) 
• Plain Language Summary (PLS) of a published journal article 
• Lay summaries required under EU CTR for clinical trials on medicinal products

Join us as we discuss practical strategies you can use to develop effective patient-centered lay summary content.

[FREE WEBINAR] Critical Concepts Webinar Medical Device Software: Approaches to Determining Risk Classification, Qualification, and Safety and Performance Outcomes

 

Click here to watch the recording of this webinar.

In case you are wondering if Medical Device Software (MDSW/SaMD) and digital health content is a hot topic, the FDA released 4 guidance documents in 2022 alone, on topics ranging from cyber security, medical image devices, and mobile medical applications. Furthermore, the European MDR- EU 2017/745 and new IVDR – EU 2017/746 regulation contain stipulations related to how software is regulated, classified, and qualified.  

You may be asking yourselves: 

  • Is my software considered a medical device? 
  • How do I address the clinical evaluation for my medical device software? 
  • How do I define the safety and performance outcomes, and other clinical evaluation parameters? 

Click the link above to get answers to these questions and to find out more about the topic of software as a medical device.

Who are the Panelists?

CER Critical Concepts

Clinical Evaluation Report Critical Concepts: Effectively Telling the Story of the CER – Focus on S&P Objectives, Acceptance Criteria, Clinical Benefits and Risk-Benefit Analysis

Safety and performance objectives…..clinical outcomes…..clinical benefits…..acceptance criteria…..risk-benefit ratio. These terms represent key concepts of the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER), yet confusion still exists on how to effectively identify, present and analyze these parameters within the context of an MDR-compliant CER. How do they tie together? How do they help you “tell the story” of the CER?

Click here to watch the recording of this session.

Presented from the point of view of seasoned MDR-compliant CER medical writers, this session will take a practical approach to:

  • Define each of these concepts and their relationship to each other
  • Develop MDR-aligned safety and performance objectives
  • How clinical outcomes are leveraged in the CER and how they are different from S&P objectives
  • Tying it all together in the Risk-Benefit section of the CER (hint: this section is where it all comes together)

There will be time at the end of this session to ask questions. Please submit your questions ahead of time while registering for this session so we have ample time to answer them thoughtfully. You may choose to send in your questions during the presentation as well.

Who is this forum for?

Those Regulatory, Quality and Clinical leaders and teams who develop, write, review, or approve clinical evaluation reports for MDR submissions. Anyone interested in learning more about MDR requirements for CERs is also welcome to attend. Also, we encourage professionals from the IVD industry to attend as well, as the content is also relevant to IVDR requirements, which align closely with MDR.

Critical Concepts: Measurable Objectives and Acceptance Criteria

This white paper is a companion piece to our popular webinar where we cover strategies to verify device safety and performance in the clinical evaluation of medical and in vitro diagnostic (IVDs) devices. This white paper should help you with identifying meaningful safety and performance measures for clinical or performance evaluation and with defining acceptance criteria parameters to determine the acceptability of benefit-risk as mandated by Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745 and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) 2017/746.

Establishing your device’s safety and performance is a critical component of the clinical evaluation process. However, how to use the state of the art section within the Clinical Evaluation Report (CER) and Performance Evaluation Report (PER) to establish the device’s safety and performance objectives and acceptance criteria can seem ambiguous.
