Medical Coding System Experience

CSS Informatics has placed coding systems into production at multiple pharmaceutical companies.  CSS Informatics has also designed, implemented and managed global coding processes for a major multinational pharmaceutical organization.  We have extensive experience with commercially developed and custom coding technologies and are development partners with Oracle and Phase Forward, which allows us a unique perspective on how these coding system work and can be enhanced.  We have in-depth experience with the leading commercial clinical data management systems and drug safety systems.

MedDRA Implementation & Migration

We implement MedDRA (the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities) in clinical and safety software systems. Our experience with MedDRA dates back to early versions and we are familiar with current MSSO and regulatory guidance regarding its use.  We are a core MSSO subscriber and service provider.

Our MedDRA implementation and migration services include:

Dictionary definition and loading into Oracle TMS, Clintrace, Clintrial, and other systems
Automated support for MedDRA version upgrades and impact analysis
Auto-coding algorithm implementation
Assistance with medical coding and manual reclassification
Acceleration of re-coding of legacy terms to MedDRA
