DZS Software Services Inc. understands how important it is to maintain congruency in data entry and medical coding. This is why we’ve spared no expense in producing the world’s most robust and efficient coding software. ClinPlus gives your organization the power to manage all your clinical and patient Adverse Event data from a single platform, eliminating the need for multiple software or database programs to store and access your various records. Even better, ClinPlus integrates all known coding libraries, so regardless of whether your organization uses MedDRA terminology or WHO Drug terminology for AE coding and concomitant medications, the ClinPlus software suite will store and code all your information seamlessly, allowing your work force to input or output information to and from any coding library, or even use a proprietary coding library built from terms you have specified.

Modern clinical trials and patient record-keeping are plagued with difficulties that arise from competing coding libraries, far-removed operating locations, or even national borders. A great many clinical organizations operate globally, which leads to problems created not only by language barriers, but by the difficulty of translating data between libraries that use MedDRA terminology and libraries that use WHO Drug terminology. ClinPlus enables you to eliminate these barriers with a single, unified software umbrella. With ClinPlus Coding, you can choose to keep all records and data stored in a format compatible with MedDRA, WHO Drug or whatever library you prefer, without experiencing the slowdown normally associated with inconsistent data codimng and translation.

The speed of the ClinPlus system far exceeds the speed of similar and competing coding software, enabling you to search or update thousands of records per minute while maintaining record-specific information. This not only increases the overall output of your workforce, it completely eliminates the headaches and large amounts of time time normally associated with manually referencing records to or from different coding libraries.

Best of all, ClinPlus allows you to build a fully customized, proprietary library tailor-made for your organization. This customized library can be built with a combination of Who Drug terminology, MedDRA terminology, or terminology associated with any unique  coding library. The flexibility of a customizable library unique to your organization allows you to decide how to present patient or research data across the study, reducing or eliminating the busywork associated with juggling terminology or data entry fields your organization or research simply doesn’t require. ClinPlus also allows you to generate custom reports that present data in telligently.

DZS has fifteen years of experience in the coding field, and our software engineers are experts in coding translation and back-end support. The ClinPlus system will plug into any commercially available database structure, from SAS to SQL. Best of all, our service technicians and engineers are available to provide support and advice to your information and technology personnel, ensuring that your ClinPlus system runs smoothly and operates at peak efficiency at all times.

One of the primary challenges facing organizations tasked with clinical trials is logistical. The sheer amount of data being processed, as well as the myriad coding parameters used to sort that information (such as WHO Drug coding and MedDRA coding guidelines), can create potential gaps in data management that will cause days or weeks of lost time and effort. Most of the data from any modern clinical trial is often gathered by researchers on opposite sides of the globe, in different time zones, or in different cultural environments. This can cause the work to be hindered by language barriers and by differences in procedure and coding specifications. MedDRA codes and WHO Drug codes differ significantly, even when posted in identical languages, and the added difficulty of crossing borders makes simple clinical data management a nightmare for many organizations.

ClinPlus Coding allows your organization to work under a single umbrella, and within a predetermined set of coding libraries, ensuring that all clinical information remains organized and cogent. Regardless of whether your organization uses WHO Drug coding or MedDRA coding guidelines—or even a proprietary coding library—ClinPlus Coding lets you keep your entire workforce on task and aligned. Since maintaining consistency in clinical study language and terminology is a prerequisite to gathering usable data, the organizational alignment ClinPlus Coding offers you is a powerful way to increase the efficiency of your study across the board.

DZS Software Solutions, Inc. has over fifteen years of experience in managing and assimilating coding libraries, and our system will integrate quickly and completely with MedDRA codes, WHO Drug codes, or any other form of specified coding library. On the back end, ClinPlus plugs straight into nearly all known database technologies and formats, from SQL to SAS and everything in between. Your information and technology department will appreciate the streamlined programming of our software suite, and our world class technical support channels provide a constant point of contact for any technical issues your team encounters.

Even better, the speed of the ClinPlus Coding software suite is astounding. Our system enables your organization to code literally thousands of records in under a minute, and all the details of each record are perfectly maintained in a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant manner. This provides not only unmatched work output, but perfect consistency across all your clinical data, even if different coding libraries are implemented on a case-to-case basis. ClinPlus Coding translates freely between MedDRA codes and WHO Drug codes, allowing your organization to operate freely without being constrained by the individual specifications of WHO Drug coding or MedDRA coding guidelines, generating even more speed and efficiency.

Best of all, the ClinPlus systems simple-to-learn and easy-to-operate user interface, makes training new employees or retraining existing employees a snap. Rather than being forced to learn input and output procedures for a dozen different systems, your organization can operate within a single user environment, swapping information on trial and patient information easily and translating between MedDRA codes and WHO Drug codes on the fly.

Developing an effective team for clinical trial work is a difficult and ongoing process, and delays in final production or data output are common. Statistics show that an overwhelming number of clinical trials fail to meet the initial deadlines set by management, and as many as 95 percent of all clinical trials over the last decade have resulted in final production or data output delays of a month or more. The costs associated with continuing a trial for a month can easily stretch a budget to the breaking point, resulting in lost talent; incomplete, fudged, or inaccurate data; or even a scrapped clinical project.

DZS Clinical Services streamlines your work flow, eliminating any potential logistical or software related slowdowns. Using ClinPlus data management and coding software is both robust and organic, providing all the power and versatility of any competing unified software system and a completely stable back-end database module, but with a flexibility that allows you to produce and work within your own specified workflow and  customized coding library.
