Bull’s Eye Innovations is excited to announce the launch of The ASA University, the first on-line virtual learning environment and networking community for aggregate spend professionals. Designed to serve those professionals responsible for developing manufacturer programs to comply with state level and federal Sunshine Act requirements, The ASA University includes a networking Student Lounge, a Main Lecture Hall, Legislation Library, campus newsroom and WASA Radio! Students can also learn about service providers with experience in this unique space by visiting the Sponsor’s Pavilion.
Founded in 2008, the Aggregate Spend Alliance (ASA) is a peer to peer organization that focuses on facilitating learning and problem solving discussions related to developing an aggregate spend program. As new Federal Sunshine Act requirements have fallen upon pharmaceutical, medical device and biotech manufacturers, as well as Group Purchasing Organizations, manufacturers and the vendors who serve them are burdened with changing the way they do business. Complying with the complexity and detailed reporting requirements of various states, as well as the Federal government is a growing challenge and the journey to preparedness is arduous. Education and connectivity amongst the industry are critical factors in building and maintaining a program that meets both government and industry standards.
As an extension of the ASA, The ASA University is uniquely designed for life science professionals and service providers who are faced with this challenge. By joining The ASA University, Industry “Scholars” can network with subject matter experts and other aggregate spend colleagues, stay updated on the latest regulatory changes and participate in various training opportunities to learn best practices in systems preparedness and policy and procedure development.
Inside an Automated Healthcare Practice: Redesigning Care Around People, Not Paperwork
By reducing administrative burden and redesigning workflows around human needs, it creates space for what matters most: connection between clinicians and patients.
