Medical, Legal and Regulatory Review

Grants and Donations
Following recent changes in legislation to avoid corrupt practices, many countries are now obliged to make certain information available where grants and donations are provided to charities and patient organisations etc. Zinc's Grants and Donations module makes the approval of requests and the tracking, auditability and publication of aggregate spend, easy and compliant.

Internal Documents and SOPs
Many clients chose to utilise Zinc's extensive functionality for review and approval of internal documentation such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Human Resources (HR). Workflow for these internal items tends to be a little different, although the same principles apply. Zinc MAPS has the ability to "restrict access" to certain documentation – for example HR documents where privacy is a concern. Call us today to learn more.
Medical Education, Goods and Services
Life Sciences companies often receive requests from external organisations to provide medical education and associated goods and services. In fact the life sciences industry has often helped to provide a significant amount of the post-graduate education for health care professionals. Zinc 's Medical Education module hosts the review and approval process for this type of request in an efficient and compliant manner accelerating and simplifying the process.

Packaging and Labelling
The review and approval process for packaging and labelling materials is very similar to other processes except that Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) becomes more relevant. Zinc private cloud hosting architecture is “validation-ready” and can be provided with all of the relevant documentation and support to ensure that each client meets strict GMP validation requirements. Zinc's complementary software upgrades are provided at times that fit the client's business needs, maintaining validation status at all times. Call us today to learn more.
