Based on our InnovationWell community of practice discussions this year on drug safety knowledge management, Peter Elkin, Jim Averback, Sidney Kahn, Leander Fontaine and I have just recently written a short InnovationWell position paper together:

Barry Hardy (Community of Practice Manager, InnovationWell), Peter Elkin (Professor of Medicine, Mayo Clinic), Jim Averback (President, Life Science Integration Partners), A. Leander Fontaine (President, pharmiceutics) and Sidney Kahn (President, Pharmacovigilance & Risk Management, Inc.)

We will continue our discussions of the topic at our upcoming meeting in Basel (9 November 2005). There we will be joined by Victor Newman to run our first innovation café on safety and additionally for the first time we will also address in our other sessions the important topic of combating drug counterfeiting and trafficking (session sponsored by Sun Microsystems) and the ideas and techniques involved in applying complex systems (David Snowden, Cynefin Centre) and organisational development approaches to life science product development and safety decision-making.
To attend the meeting in Basel or to join and access these ongoing activities please visit the InnovationWell website at http://innovationwell.net/ or contact Nicki Douglas, Nicki.Douglas at douglasconnect.com; Tel: +41 61 851 0461
