Cegedim Relationship Management and AHM announce Business Alliance to Provide Unique, End-to-End Disclosure Reporting Solution to Life Sciences Companies Worldwide

Cegedim Relationship Management and AHM today announced that they are collaborating to offer a unique disclosure reporting solution to Life Sciences companies worldwide. The Cegedim/AHM alliance will bring to market the only globally available, end-to-end healthcare professional (HCP) / healthcare organization (HCO) transfer of value interactions compliance and disclosure reporting solution.

Addressing the Need to Meet Increasing Transparency Requirements
Life Sciences companies worldwide are facing more and increasingly stringent compliance and disclosure reporting regulations; and are seeking efficient ways to meet regulatory requirements on a global, regional and local basis. The Cegedim/AHM joint solution will provide an unrivaled combination of technology, services and regulatory expertise to satisfy this need.

The seamless integration of Cegedim’s OneKey healthcare professionals database and Nucleus 360 customer master data management solution - with CentrisDirect, AHM’s centralized transfer of value interactions management system - facilitates accurate customer identification and proactive compliance, reducing or eliminating inefficient downstream data reconciliation. CentrisDirect offers intuitive usability and enables proactive compliance through a robust compliance rules engine and extensive business process management workflow. In addition, continuous data exchange with Cegedim’s market-leading AggregateSpend360 global disclosure and transparency reporting solution allows for early visibility and insight into reportable HCP/HCO transparency data.

"The business alliance and resultant joint solution offers up a unique value proposition that is currently unmatched by any provider,” explained Dario Ghoddousi, Senior Vice President of Global Transparency and Master Data Management Solutions for Cegedim Relationship Management. "Cegedim has long been known as the leading provider of innovative transparency solutions to the global Life Sciences market, and this partnership is testimony to our ongoing commitment to addressing increasing demands.”

The joint solution will be continuously and proactively updated with evolving regulations, reducing compliance violations due to new or changed laws, regulations, and industry codes. It will be particularly valuable to Life Sciences teams involved in the management of transfer-of-value interactions with healthcare professionals and organizations.
