VISTA Adds New Features to Better Meet Site Assessment Needs for E-Clinical Studies

VISTA Adds New Features to Better Meet Site Assessment Needs for E-Clinical Studies

New features in the latest version of VISTA, a web-based automated site technology assessment service, help to provide an enhanced site assessment solution, thus further improving the implementation of e-clinical studies.

Media, PA (PRWEB) April 17, 2007

Scientific Software Tools, Inc. (SST), a leader in the area of technology-enabling software and services for clinical trials, has unveiled the latest version of VISTA, a web-based automated site technology assessment service, with new features to better meet the site assessment needs for e-clinical studies.

With the incorporation of these additional features, VISTA seeks to streamline the site assessment process and further shorten the study start-up period. Apart from the site technical assessment, the investigative site usually has to complete a host of other qualitative paper surveys as well. Valuable time is also wasted on the tedious task of manually entering the data obtained into a database.

The new VISTA version allows these qualitative surveys to be consolidated into a single process along with the technical assessment, thus eliminating the use of paper completely. Clinical staff can now obtain all the information that they need in one setting, while site investigators also benefit from greater convenience as they no longer need to face the hassle of dealing with different surveys from multiple points of contact.

In addition, VISTA presents the data obtained from the qualitative surveys and the technical assessment in a new XML format, thus allowing the information to be effortlessly transferred into a database. This facilitates the sharing of data both across different information systems and among all the parties involved in the study.

"The newest version of VISTA takes into account valuable comments and feedback from our users and represents Scientific Software Tools' commitment in delivering high-quality products that exceed our customers' expectations," Elise Furman, President of SST, said. "These new features will allow VISTA to offer a more integrated and comprehensive site assessment solution, thus enhancing the study experience for all stakeholders involved in the study."

"This was evident in a recent study sponsored by one of our customers, where significant study improvements were experienced through the use of the new VISTA," she said. "The clinical staff and investigators saved time and hassle in dealing with multiple surveys, while accurate site assessment data was disseminated in real-time to all the parties concerned. The technical support personnel were able to have direct access to all the information needed, thus allowing them to speed up the remediation process."

First Fly Fishing and Conservation Social Networking Community Launches Online

First Fly Fishing and Conservation Social Networking Community Launches Online

InsiderFlyfishing is becoming known as the attractor pattern of the Internet throughout the fly fishing industry and conservation world. The newly launched site has the look, resources and can't-resist goods to turn consumers' heads and keep them coming back, while delivering exceptional results to fly fishing professionals, dealers and membership organizations throughout North America and all over the world. It's also dedicated to preserving clean water and healthy fisheries everywhere, a win for fish populations and habitat as well as for sportsmen and PROs.

Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) October 15, 2006

InsiderFlyFishing (http://www. insiderflyfishing. com/ (http://www. insiderflyfishing. com/)) founder Scott T. Smith describes the site as a blend of MySpace, YouTube, Yahoo! and a conservation news service dedicated to the sport, lore and love of fly fishing. InsiderFlyFishing is a place where businesses can instantly create their own online presence that's automatically linked to the rest of the professional fly fishing world, and all the passionate anglers in the network worldwide. And it provides an easy entrance to the new Web technologies today's angling-related businesses must have to survive.

"Today's leading-edge Internet technologies put the smallest shops, individual guides and other fly fishing pros on a level playing field with the largest corporations and big box stores," says Smith. "We've just made it affordable and push-button simple to use, because clearly many of the PROs in this business don't have any extra time, no IT staff and none of the marketing muscle and money that the Big Boys and Girls do."

Smith is passionate about fly fishing, not only as a sport, but as a model of the best that an industry can be.

"The business of fly fishing was created by incredibly dedicated people, individuals who worked long hours on their own because they wanted to make the fishing experience truly sublime," explains Smith. "That's still the heart of fly fishing. Unfortunately, bigger companies got wind of the potential profits, and now threaten to take over big chunks of the market while by-passing the soul of the sport, as well as the issue of good fishing habitat."

Without the benefit of ever-changing Web technology, says Smith, many fly fishing PROs will miss the boat. InsiderFlyFishing directly addresses this issue, and provides PROs with instant access to the ever-changing technologies they need PLUS direct access to potential clients. "There are 12-20 million fly fishers in North America alone and an estimated 50 million+ worldwide," says Smith. "The best way to reach this market today is online."

A professional membership in InsiderFlyfishing costs only a little over a dollar a day, but provides valuable services and connections to the rest of the fishing world that can't be found anywhere else. A $39.95 monthly membership enables PROs to highlight their expertise before a laser-targeted audience, empowering them to:

O Build A Network Of Clients, Members And Buyers Online Today

O Maximize Their Marketing With The Proprietary Secret Streams Gearbox

O Get Exclusive Insider Pro Marketing Tools

O Gain Immediate Private Access To The Insider Business Training System

O PLUS Get Multiple Top Banner Listings With ONFLYFISHING. COM, The #1 Fly Fishing Directory On The Internet Today

InsiderFlyFishing is an online social network, much more than a 'Web site' because it is interactive and dynamic. "It doesn't just sit there, as the word 'site' implies," explains Smith. "It works for you. It makes you more efficient, saves you money and connects you up person-to-person in the world of fly fishers and conservationists online."

For complete information about InsiderFlyFishing PRO membership, advertising and additional membership benefits, please contact President Scott T. Smith at mailto:admin @ onflyfishing. com, phone 406.586.4112 or visit the new site on the Web at http://www. insiderflyfishing. com/PRO/index_PRO. html (http://www. insiderflyfishing. com/PRO/index_PRO. html)

Sumatra Campus to be Built for Tsunami Orphans

Sumatra Campus to be Built for Tsunami Orphans

Orphans International (OI) Worldwide founder Jim Luce announced today that OI America has received sufficient financial support to expand its operations/activities in Indonesia with the initiation of OI Sumatra, joining OI's existing projects on Bali and Sulawesi.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2005

Orphans International (OI) Worldwide founder Jim Luce announced today that OI America has received sufficient financial support to expand its operations/activities in Indonesia with the initiation of OI Sumatra, joining OI's existing projects on Bali and Sulawesi. Implementation of the project will begin in mid-January with the opening of an orphanage (Sumatra House) in Jambi, Sumatra.

The location for Sumatra House has been made available by the family of OI Worldwide V. P. and OI Bali founder Ramdani "Dani" Sirait. Meetings with government officials in Jakarta, Jambi and Medan this week will kick-off OI's effort to provide a secure home and support for children orphaned by the recent disaster. Coincidentally, Mr. Luce had met in New York with Indonesian Chief Social Welfare Minister Alwi Shihab to discuss a similar expansion in December, just prior to the tsunami.

OI staff have begun the process of reviewing applications of orphaned children in the province of Aceh, and are working to gain the necessary approvals to transport those accepted to Sumatra House. OI has set the immediate objective of providing a home for at least 50 orphaned children from Aceh, with the eventual goal of providing for 240 children in a dedicated community. Luce and Sirait have begun negotiations with the local government to obtain a 40-acre (16 ha) property outside Jambi. Following OI Worldwide's general development plan, construction would begin as soon as possible on a campus composed of 60 small homes (for four children each), schools, polyclinics for medical, psychological and dental health, sports parks and athletic facilities.

OI Sumatra aims to provide a continuing and long-lived base of support for the tsunami victims. The campus is slated to be fully integrated into the local community, and serve as a locus of interaction for international humanitarian organizations working with Indonesian NGOs in Sumatra.

"Orphans International differs remarkably from many other institutions as our goal is not to warehouse children but to transform them into global citizens," Luce states. "Though our interfaith approach, high adult-to-child ratio, and emphasis on education, the arts and athletics, we are not merely rescuing tsunami victims, but attempting to raise the next generation of leadership in Indonesia," Luce adds.

In addition to the launch of OI Sumatra, OI Bali founder Sirait has announced that OI's original two Indonesian projects -- OI Bali and OI Sulawesi -- would each double their capacity to welcome children tragically orphaned by the tsunami that has killed over 100,000 in Indonesia alone. "Children in schools from New York to Colorado are now raising pennies to assist us," states Luce.

"The enormous scale of this disaster precludes any one organization or government from stabilizing the situation," states OI America board member Tim Vanover. "However, if every NGO on the ground there could assist to their maximum capacity it would alleviate much suffering and despair," he adds. Vanover continued, "I am proud that OI can play a modest role in securing the future of a significant number of the most unfortunate victims -- the children."

OI's mission is to help orphaned or abandoned children grow into solid citizens of the world through a stable, family-like environment that is simultaneously interfaith, interracial, international, intergenerational, and Internet-connected. "Our new Aceh orphans will be given the same opportunities as the rest of our children," states Luce.

While OI has received enough funding to embark upon this ambitious project, additional support will be required to provide the highest level of support for as many orphans as possible. Tax-deductible contributions for the Emergency Tsunami Fund, deductible for 2004 through Jan. 31, 2005, may be sent to Orphans International America, 540 Main Street #418, New York, N. Y. 10044, earmarked "OI Tsunami Orphans Fund." More information can be obtained from the organization's website, www. oiww. org, and contributions may be made on-line at http://oiww. org/howtohelp. html (http://oiww. org/howtohelp. html). Note that contributions to tsunami relief programs are now tax-deductible for 2004 through January 31, 2005 under H. R. 241, Section 1 Acceleration of Income Tax Benefits for Charitable Cash Contributions for Relief of Indian Ocean Tsunami Victims.

OI America is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of New York in 2002 and listed with the N. Y.S. Department of Charities. The organization is designated as a 501(c)(3) charity by the IRS. All Indonesian affiliates are incorporated and registered in Indonesia as well; Sulawesi was incorporated in 2001 and Bali in 2004. Other affiliates are being formed in Guyana, Haiti and Togo.

At the recent OI America annual benefit held at the Yale Club, proclamations and letters of support were received from the Mayor Michael Bloomberg (New York), Sen. Hillary Clinton (New York), Former Borough Pres. Fernando Ferrer (Bronx), Rep. Carolyn Maloney (U. S. House of Rep.), City Council Speaker Gifford Miller (New York), Gov. George Pataki (New York), Rep. Charles Rangel (U. S. House of Rep.), Consul General Cecilia Rebong (Philippines), Rabbi Leonard Schoolman (Center for Religious Inquiry), State Attorney General Elliot Spitzer (New York), Mayor Anthony Williams (D. C.), Imam Muhammad Syamsi Ali (Islamic Cultural Center of New York), U. N. Ambassador Francis Lorenzo (Dominican Republic), Consul General Leonor Osorio (Venezuela), City Comptroller William Thompson (New York), and Consul General Kristio Wahyono (Indonesia).
