Stefania Salsano, Senior Clinical Affairs Manager, Violeta Lillo Collado, Medical Writer, and Miguel Gonzalez-Valdes Tejero, Clinical Affairs Assistant at CooperSurgical Fertility Solutions, shared with us their experience in the adoption of MedBoard for literature review processes.
The Challenge
As a global leader and manufacturer, CooperSurgical needed a more efficient way of performing literature reviews and manage the work within the team. Before adopting MedBoard, the process was time-consuming and not efficient.
“Before joining MedBoard, conducting literature reviews was more time-consuming. We didn’t have a platform to compile all the relevant literature which made the process inefficient. We had to search across multiple databases and manually filter and appraise relevant publications.“
“MedBoard provides a single, comprehensive platform where we can easily track the literature review process.”
MedBoard provided a solution to not only manage literature more efficiently, but also making the process much faster and more consistent.
The comprehensive offering of MedBoard allows the CooperSurgical team to also manage their work more efficiently. Integrating tasks, actions and deadlines in the process helps keeping up and alignment between team members.
” In addition we are able to manage tasks more efficiently and assign reviews keeping track of the lifetime of an article. “
“We like the intuitive interface and how everything is centralised. The intelligence search capabilities makes it easier to stay up to date with new publications and conduct the continuous literature review process. We still need to use the AI suggestions for appraisal more extensively but is seems to be quite promising as a feature, and has already delivered efficiencies on our last round of reviews.“
“We feel the platform is continuously improving. A lot of new features were introduced since we started using it. Some of them were also related to our specific needs.”
Beyond the platform itself, the CooperSurgical team had a special mention for the continuous innovative approach of the MedBoard platform, and the importance of MedBoard’s customer support team.
Collaboration is key in delivering a solution built on the professionals’ needs, and the team wanted to share their experience in giving feedback to the MedBoard team for new features.
