Partners HealthCare Teams with Osprey Software to Create New Conflict of Interest Compliance Management SystemMar 18, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Osprey Software Solutions has announced the introduction of Osprey COI RiskManager, an enterprise-class compliance management system designed to automate conflict of interest (COI) reporting at hospitals and medical research facilities. In a release, the Company said that 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 FormsWizard, templates are easily customized by the end user making it simple to integrate any of their own forms and workflow approval processes." Osprey COI RiskManager offers several options for 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.
