Applications & Software Development
|
AD
|
Applications and Software Development papers focus on the use of software in the development of applications, including those utilising SAS or S-Plus but also Java, Perl and .NET. Presentations in this section cover the application's code and development processes. Papers can include any "lessons learned" or "suggestions for future development".

| CDISC & Industry Standards
|
CD |
The CDISC organisation has established standards to support the
acquisition, exchange, analysis, submission and archival of clinical
data and metadata. This stream focuses on the
a) Explanation and interpretation of these standards
b) Processes and development of how to implement these data standards
c) The use of the CDISC standards in e-Submissions.

Data Handling
|
DH
|
The Data Handling stream is dedicated to the many aspects of data handling and database management done by programmers in the pharmaceutical industry. The aspects include for example management of data and data flow, metadata definition and handling, extraction of raw data from various sources, data validation, data acceptance and data quality issues, data processing from raw to analysis data, data transformation as well as different interfaces to clinical data management systems.

| Health Outcomes Research & Epidemiology |
HE |
This new stream is dedicated to programming in the field of
epidemiology, health economics and health outcomes research. Typical
issues in this field will be covered like handling very large datasets,
data selection issues, epidemiological methods assessing patient
reported outcome like compliance, quality of life and more.

| Industry Starters |
IS
|
This stream offers a great opportunity for either new colleagues
to the industry to gain experience presenting at conferences or the
more experienced to present papers that wold be of interest to
colleagues with 3 years or less experience. The focus is to provide a
warm welcome to the industry and to ask questions in a more informal
atmosphere, whilst offering a diverse range of presentations that would
be of interest to all.

| Management |
MA |
Management Stream focuses on discussing current challenges
and opportunities that are faced by Programming Managers within our
industry. The session will be very interactive with the format
comprising of experienced managers introducing a topic and inviting the
audience to participate in a discussion to share the collective
experience and knowledge. Contribution is by invitation only but the
sessions are open to all PhUSE delegates (who may have either a
managerial or technical background). |

| Non-Specific |
NS |
This stream is in place for those papers that do not fit directly with
any of the established conference streams, so that the Conference Chair
and Co-Chair can take the decision on where they would be best
presented. The focus is to provide a storage point for the paper until
an actual stream has been determined and agreed with the author(s). |

| Professional Development & Training |
PD
|
The Professional Development and Training sessions cover a wide
variety of topics, mainly relating to the non technical aspects of our
roles as programmers within the pharmaceutical industry.Previous
topics have included training, certification, recruitment, career
development, managing teams, project management, and much more. |

Poster Presentations
|
PP
|
Posters cover a wide variety of topics in a poster board form rather than a formal lecture. Posters are ideal for presentations that include graphics, source code, statistical concepts or thought-provoking concepts that invite conference participants to review at their own pace. Posters are on display throughout the conference and authors are available for questions during a designated time.

Regulations in the Healthcare Industry
|
RG
|
The healthcare industry is surrounded by rules, standards and regulations such as GxP,ICH, 21 CRF Part 11 compliance, validation, version control, process management and continuous improvement processes. We are also regulated on all aspects of submission related activities including interactions with health authorities (FDA, EMA, MHLW etc), site inspections and audits. This stream invites you to share your experiences and have open discussions on how best to work in such a highly regulated industry.

| Software Demonstrations |
SD
|
This stream focus on demonstrations of new or recently released
software and tools.It may include new programming platforms, reporting
systems or data management tools, and new innovative applications
utilizing a variety of new and established technologies. Each
demonstration has the goal of highlighting the potential for enhanced
optimization, increased efficiency or user-friendliness in the day to
day undertaking of Biometrics processes and tasks. |
