Welcome to the Health and Life Sciences Channel of the BeyeNETWORK – a channel dedicated to sharing ideas and concepts pertaining to companies interested in the improvement of the human condition including those in healthcare, government and academia as well as the biotechnology and pharmaceutical (biopharma) industry. Here you will learn to apply business intelligence and its technologies through the entire use of medical and research information. Our perspective is simple: the patient is at the epicenter of an amazing amount of data. Just as that data is useful in primary care settings, it is also critical to decision making beyond the point of care. The types of topics that we will consider in this channel include: primary care decisioning; clinical research and registries; public health and safety and pharmacovigilance; economic and global health outcomes decisioning; organizational metrics; regulatory and compliance reporting; patterns of care in populations; and billing, claims, reimbursements reporting and analytics.

Each month, I’ll share my perspective and challenge you to leverage the collective knowledge found here to solve both tactical and strategic problems.

You will have access to professional articles, my blog and interviews from the biopharma community at large. You will also find case studies, best practices and practical application strategies.

I am excited about making this channel collaborative and inclusive. I welcome your “thots,” questions, comments and suggestions on improving the relevancy and impact of this Channel.

Please feel free to email me at greg@thotwave.com with your comments or suggestions on how I can provide the most relevant information to you.
