PleaseReview gives you a perfect audit trail. I have made its acquisition a requirement at every organisation for which I’ve led Medical Writing.

Kim Norris, Director of Medical Writing, uniQure

Kim’s main challenges before Ideagen PleaseReview

• Define and refine processes for document authoring, review, and approval. Kim needed to create a structured and consistent process for document development, from concept to approval and submission. This effort included development/revision of SOPs and Work Instructions, as well as creating a company Style Guide and conventions.

• Version control. There was no clearly defined location for either files in progress or final versions; this was an issue in terms of locating actual final documents and checking audit trails for former documents. 

• Administrative burden. A great deal of time was being spent chasing people via email, text messages, and phone calls, as well as consolidating feedback from multiple copies of the document.

• Difficult to trace activity. Document owners could not see who had already begun and who had not, nor could they see the edits and questions other reviewers had posed.

• Reviewers not focused. Reviewers often edited sections that were outside their area of expertise—or they made microedits throughout the document rather than focusing on the questions for their subject matter area.

• Outstanding issues. The medical writers would include specific questions for specific reviewers within the
document and, as a result of lack of focus, these questions and issues were frequently initially overlooked.

PleaseReview allows us to achieve significant time savings for all involved. More important than the time saving, though, is the focus and the quality of the review, as well as the transparency of the process.

Kim Norris, Director of Medical Writing, uniQure

  • Card icon

    Proven to provide cost savings of 35% compared with manual processes

  • Card icon

    Proven to provide time savings of up to 65% per 35% document review

  • Card icon

    Proven to accommodate teams of 400+ users without crashing

Top three benefits of Ideagen PleaseReview for uniQure:

Focus
“You can guide the reviewers in real-time to the location where their input is critical. The ability to lock-in sections for editing means that reviewers don’t spend time revising sections that have already been agreed to and they focus on the critical issues.”

Quality
PleaseReview “gives us more time to focus on the content and quality of the review. It takes away manual, labor-intensive tasks by doing them for us.”

Transparency
“The reconciliation report provides automated documentation of all review activities, thus eliminating the need for manual documentation of things like review participation and changes, comments, and resolutions. This transparency is important because someone inevitably asks why a change was or was not made. With the report, you’re able to locate the reason you provided at the time. In this way, PleaseReview gives you a perfect audit trail.”

Key features

  • Card icon

    Collaborate on the same documents simultaneously

  • Card icon

    Keep sensitive data secure

  • Card icon

    Comply with regulatory and industry standards

What would Kim say to organizations that are considering Ideagen PleaseReview?

“PleaseReview is a bit like chess. It’s easy to learn at the beginning, but you can really go far in customizing it. The versatility of the software allows for the implementation of PleaseReview at a basic level with the potential to use it at a highly sophisticated level, depending on the organization’s needs.

Since being introduced to this software years ago, I have made its acquisition a requirement at every organisation for which I’ve led Medical Writing.

When looking for a new role, one of the factors I consider during the interview process is if the organization already has PleaseReview or if they are willing to obtain it. When interviewing candidates, one of the questions I always ask is if they have familiarity with PleaseReview.”
