June 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Oxford, UK; Princeton, NJ; New York, NY; Tokyo, Japan; Base Switzerland; Sydney, Australia – (16th June, 2014) –  Zinc Ahead and Center for Communication Compliance (CCC) have announced a unique collaboration dedicated to quality and regulatory compliance in medical, legal and regulatory (MLR) promotional review. According to the companies’ principals, the Zinc/CCC collaboration delivers proven solutions to assist the healthcare industry significantly increase business efficiencies, save money and manage risk.

Zinc and CCC’s first integrated offering is the QuikCheck Compliance Screener, the industry’s first and only web-based tool to filter out non-negotiable, non-compliant elements from advertising and promotion prior to promotional review.  QuikCheck is a fast, cost-effective way for agencies and their clients to establish a common regulatory baseline and ensure that only the highest quality promotional materials enter Zinc’s cloud-based software system.  Clients can also configure QuikCheck to minimize rewrites due to variations or inconsistency among different client reviewers.

Omnicom Group, one of the world’s leading global advertising and marketing communications holding companies, has already adopted QuikCheck, making it the first network to systematically filter out non-compliant, non-negotiable elements in promotional materials using a web-based system.  Omnicom is committed to excellence in healthcare communications and has more agencies dedicated to healthcare communications of any other holding company.

Zinc/CCC: Process and Content Delivers End-to-End Control

Life science companies are facing increased pressures to ensure that promotional materials meet strict regulatory standards and various local codes of practice around the world. “Agency partners that originate promotional material can help clients significantly reduce review cycle time and increase business efficiencies by submitting compliant materials at the outset of review discussions,” explains CCC President and Founder, Ilyssa Levins.

For this reason, agencies rely on CCC to prepare and qualify their account teams by ensuring fluency in fundamental regulatory content. CCC Regulatory Compliance Tests (RCTs), developed by former FDA officials and leading regulatory lawyers, close regulatory compliance knowledge gaps and confirm mastery over regulatory fundamentals.

Zinc’s cloud software supports the compliance process by empowering users to collaborate, approve and share content in real-time with colleagues and third party agencies globally.

“Zinc’s key benchmarks and metrics enable our big pharmaceutical customers to analyze the quality and productivity of their internal processes and drive dramatic improvements resulting in efficiencies,” said James Brown, CEO of Zinc Ahead. “By integrating QuikCheck early into the review process and catching potential problems at source, our customers and partners take another significant step in enabling continuous improvement for those 45,000 users who count on Zinc to optimize the overall promotional review experience.”

Omnicom Sets Standard in Content and Process

According to Omnicom Executive Vice President, Sharon Callahan, “Omnicom is dedicated to taking regulatory compliance excellence to the next level to enhance our clients’ business processes.”

In 2012, Omnicom partnered with CCC to become the first and only holding company to make a network-wide commitment to CCC compliance testing for all relevant healthcare communications agencies, with a focus on regulatory-compliant content excellence.  To further ensure process excellence, Omnicom has developed a Zinc Super Users member group for its agencies to share best practices.

“Now with QuikCheck, we further demonstrate to clients and to the industry that the regulatory environment continues to be one of the highest priorities for our agencies,” concludes Callahan.
