AUSTIN, Texas, June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- BlueCloud
by HealthCarePoint (HCP), a
Texas-based healthcare and
clinical research networking technology company founded by patient
survivors began the collaborative effort to bring BlueCloud
technologies to investigative sites for the purposes of clinical
research readiness and economic opportunity for Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. With the support of the
local Puerto Rican government, the cooperative of top academic and
private research sites known as PRCCI, will act as distributor for
BlueCloud Quality Management Systems and its DDIT
mechanisms. The site network strategy will include the
implementation of BlueCloud technologies which will enhance the
educational opportunities, market visibility and quality of life
for patients and clinical practitioners.
By joining the Global BlueCloud Network, PRCCI's network of
sites will be able to address:
- Betterment of Puerto Rico's
population health – To keep up with privacy and regulations,
Healthcare and clinical research professionals will be able to own
their BlueCloud professional account where they can access their
necessary protocol, training, career certifications and globally
accepted standards of care from one, centralized and globally
accessible location. Professionals and management can also opt to
electronically share these documents for the purposes of
demonstrating competencies. PRCCI will have dynamic access to the
BlueCloud Education Network and its global providers of standards'
training and certification programs that professionals utilize to
further their educational, certifications and globally accepted
certification requirements and therefore better assist patient
needs.
- Promote Investigative sites within the PRCCI Site Network –
Using BlueCloud Networking tools, PRCCI sites will be able to
connect to global sponsors, CRO's and universities to share and
exchange professional and site-specific information and offer
real-time site screening, improve study start up, increase study
pipelines and ultimately help provide PRCCI site members with added
sustainability.
- Enable sponsors access to patient populations for clinical
research purposes – Using BlueCloud Patient Mapping application,
PRCCI will be able to demonstrate to sponsors and other
organizations, the patient populations within each of the PRCCI
network members for the purposes of clinical research
development.
- Bringing healthcare and clinical research innovation
opportunities to patients in Puerto
Rico, the Dominican
Republic and PRCCI members – Patients will ultimately
benefit with BlueCloud technology by expediting the
product-to-market development process with Sponsors and CROs, thus
enhancing access to more diverse populations.
Dr. Amarilys Silva, PharmD, PRCCI
Executive Director, indicated that "BlueCloud Quality Management
Systems are essential for PRCCI to bring additional capabilities
such as standards of care to clinical practice and research. The
BlueCloud technology will help us to maximize our options to
connect with the global research ecosystem, enhance our local
clinical research capabilities for the benefit of patients, the
Puerto Rican economy and to support global innovation."
"BlueCloud and PRCCI will help bring economic growth to
Puerto Rico via global
connectivity. BlueCloud's global connectivity will enable clinical
research sites in Puerto Rico and
the Dominican Republic, with a
population of primarily Hispanic origin, to be identified by
Sponsors, CROs and Universities to contribute to global clinical
research and to increase representation of diverse populations in
clinical trials. With industry stakeholders now being able to
access the region and increasing clinical researcher training and
capabilities, we are excited about the benefits patients will
ultimately experience due to this effort," stated Dr. Miguel A.
Vázquez Padua, PhD, PRCCI Director of Operations and Business
Development.
Al Pacino, President of BlueCloud
by HealthCarePoint and Diversity Patient Advocate, explains –
"BlueCloud Quality Management Systems are essential to improving
the quality of patient care at the site level. Optimizing patient
population and economic potential for Puerto Rico. By providing the necessary,
sustainable infrastructure to connect sites to sponsors, CRO's and
universities to Puerto Rico, the
Dominican Republic and PRCCI
members in real-time we are able to improve the quality of life for
the citizens of the region and furthermore continue our global
mission to leave no patient behind. We are proud to help PRCCI's
mission to bring increased diversity to their sponsors and local
