Knowledge Management
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Since 1995, Macfadden's team of IT experts has enabled the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to ensure an efficient drug approval process and monitor drugs that have already received FDA approval. Developing customized programs to support administrative functions and management, Macfadden has supported the FDA through application development, integration services, industry research, search and retrieval systems and document imaging.

A leader in health information technology, Macfadden is working to improve access to drug information. With 23 searchable databases containing more than 5 million documents, Macfadden is working to integrate Enterprise Search into the agency by taking disparate collections of information and making them easily searchable by users across the agency providing instant, secure access to data relevant to the FDA's business processes.

This highly successful program has effectively reduced search times from 30 minutes to a mere 1/10 of a second. Scientists using the search software are now able to provide high-quality drug reviews because they can now easily find information they couldn't locate previously, or didn?t have time to spend searching for.

Macfadden is also improving patient safety through its work providing technical support to the FDA's Structured Product Labeling (SPL) project, an initiative requiring manufacturers to submit prescription drug label information in a specialized electronic format that utilizes embedded computer tags, enabling healthcare providers and the general public easier access to product information. Macfadden provides programming support, quality assurance and testing support to facilitate the interoperability between pharmaceutical companies and the FDA.
