Core HR

Core HR (core human resources) is an umbrella term that means the basic functions of an HR department; the basic data captured about employees; and the software used to manage basic HR processes. Core HR is typically used in three distinct ways:

to refer to the basic functions of an HR department;
to mean the basic data captured about employees; and
as shorthand for the core HR software needed to enable the first two.

Core HR functions of the human resources department
Core functions of the HR department commonly include employee recruitment, scheduling, payroll, benefits administration, internal relations, employee training, compliance and safety. Core HR is sometimes used to mean these basic HR responsibilities in human capital management (HCM).

Medical Coding+CPC

Medical coding is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services, and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes. The diagnoses and procedure codes are taken from medical record documentation, such as transcription of physician’s notes, laboratory and radiologic results, etc. Medical coding professionals help ensure the codes are applied correctly during the medical billing process, which includes abstracting the information from documentation, assigning the appropriate codes, and creating a claim to be paid by insurance carriers.

Medical coding happens every time you see a healthcare provider. The healthcare provider reviews your complaint and medical history, makes an expert assessment of what’s wrong and how to treat you, and documents your visit. That documentation is not only the patient’s ongoing record, it’s how the healthcare provider gets paid.

Medical codes translate that documentation into standardized codes that tell payers the following:

Patient’s diagnosis
Medical necessity for treatments, services, or supplies the patient received
Treatments, services, and supplies provided to the patient
Any unusual circumstances or medical condition that affected those treatments and services
Like a musician who interprets the written music and uses their instrument to produce what’s intended, Medical Coding requires the ability to understand anatomy, physiology, and details of the services, and the rules and regulations of the payers to succeed.

Medical Billing

Medical billing is a payment practice within the United States health system. The process involves a healthcare provider submitting, following up on, and appealing claims with health insurance companies in order to receive payment for services rendered; such as testing, treatments, and procedures. The same process is used for most insurance companies, whether they are private companies or government sponsored programs: Medical coding reports what the diagnosis and treatment were, and prices are applied accordingly.

Medical billers are encouraged, but not required by law, to become certified by taking an exam such as the CMRS Exam, RHIA Exam, CPB Exam[1] and others. Certification schools are intended to provide a theoretical grounding for students entering the medical billing field. Some community colleges in the United States offer certificates, or even associate degrees, in the field. Those seeking advancement may be cross-trained in medical coding or transcription or auditing, and may earn a bachelor’s or graduate degree in medical information science and technology.

Clinical Research

Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.

Clinical trials are research studies performed in people that are aimed at evaluating a medical, surgical, or behavioral intervention. They are the primary way that researchers find out if a new treatment, like a new drug or diet or medical device (for example, a pacemaker) is safe and effective in people.

Working as a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) can be a very exciting job that offers great opportunities to travel, work from home, meet new people and play a pivotal role in the drug development process. Clinical Research Assistants take the lead in assisting in scientific studies by identifying subjects or clinical trials, collecting data and evaluating the results. They work at hospitals, laboratories and various research institutions.

Clinical Data Management

Clinical data management (CDM) is a critical process in clinical research, which leads to generation of high-quality, reliable, and statistically sound data from clinical trials. Clinical data management ensures collection, integration and availability of data at appropriate quality and cost.

Overall, clinical data managers are responsible for collecting data from a variety of medical research projects, such as clinical and pharmaceutical trials. They work collaboratively to make sure data is collected, managed and reported clearly, accurately and securely.

There is massive career development in clinical data management. Candidates have tremendous career development in CDM. There is a great deal of job opportunity in this field, and it has even more economic advantages.

Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance (PV or PhV), also known as drug safety, is the pharmacological science relating to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products.

Pharmacovigilance (PV) plays a key role in the healthcare system through assessment, monitoring and discovery of interactions amongst drugs and their effects in human. Pharmaceutical and biotechnological medicines are designed to cure, prevent or treat diseases; however, there are also risks particularly adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can cause serious harm to patients. Thus, for safety medication ADRs monitoring required for each medicine throughout its life cycle, during development of drug such as pre-marketing including early stages of drug design, clinical trials, and post-marketing surveillance. PV is concerns with the detection, assessment, understanding and prevention of ADRs.

The PV system team obtains valuable additional information, building up the scientific data contained in the original report and making it more informative. This necessitates an utmost requirement for effective regulations of the drug approval process and conscious pre and post approval vigilance of the undesired effects, especially in India. Adverse events reported by PV system potentially benefit to the community due to their proximity to both population and public health practitioners, in terms of language and knowledge, enables easy contact with reporters by electronically.

Clinical SAS

SAS is a software suite that can mine, alter, manage and retrieve data from a variety of sources and perform statistical analysis on it. SAS provides a graphical point-and-click user interface for non-technical users and more through the SAS language.

SAS programs have DATA steps, which retrieve and manipulate data, and PROC steps, which analyze the data. Each step consists of a series of statements.

SAS is widely used in clinical trial data analysis in pharmaceutical, biotech and clinical research companies. SAS programmers play an important role in clinical trial data analysis. 

SAS Clinical /Clinical SAS is the application of SAS technology to clinical domain for clinical trial data analysis in pharmaceutical/biotech and clinical research companies. Familiarity with clinical trial aspects combined with knowledge of SAS can lead to a challenging and rewarding career that also positively impacts & transforms patients’ lives. A SAS programmer with the Clinical knowledge always have an competitive edge over a purely SAS programmer as he/she will be in a position to take decisions while programming. One can start a career in Clinical SAS Programming as clinical programmer whose primary responsibility is writing programs in SAS to generate the output (tables, listings, and figures) needed for the analysis and reporting of the clinical study. A Clinical SAS Programmer having CDISC (standard specifications for electronically submitted clinical data)expertise would have extensive opportunities.

Regulatory Affairs

Regulatory affairs is a profession developed from the desire of governments to protect public health by controlling the safety and efficacy of products in areas including pharmaceuticals, veterinary medicines, medical devices, pesticides, agrochemicals, cosmetics and complementary medicines, and by the companies responsible for the discovery, testing, manufacture and marketing of these products wanting to ensure that they supply products that are safe and make a worthwhile contribution to public health and welfare. A new class of professionals emerged to handle these regulatory matters for companies.

Regulatory professionals are responsible for:

Keeping track of the ever-changing legislation in all the regions in which a company wishes to distribute its products
Advising on legal and scientific restraints and requirements
Collecting, collating and evaluating scientific data
Presenting registration documents to regulatory agencies and carrying out any subsequent negotiations necessary to obtain or maintain marketing authorisation for the products concerned
Giving strategic and technical advice at the highest level in their companies, making an important contribution both commercially and scientifically to the success of a development programme and the company as a whole
Helping the company avoid problems caused by badly kept records, inappropriate scientific thinking or poor presentation of data.
