MedCommForum |
Port City Web created the logo design, and the design of the website, and developed a custom integration of the Ektron CMS to power the MedCommForum website. The design and colors of the MedCommForum website were selected to invite users while having a simple, no clutter look and feel. With the primary focus of the MedCommForum website to be on the use and exchange of information, the website was designed to emphasize the functionality once logged into the secure website.
MedCommForum (www.MedCommForum.com) is a Medical Communications Forum community built by Medical Communications colleagues within the Pharmaceutical Industry -- that incorporates various peer-to-peer collaborative and social networking tools -- to support communications between its members. Membership is restricted to verified Pharmaceutical Industry colleagues within Medical Communications groups only. There are no fees for membership in the MedCommForum.
MedCommForum is sponsored by Cubist and founded by Amyas Huston (Senior Manager, Medical Communications). The mission of MedCommForum is to provide a forum for collaborative communications between Medical Communications colleagues within the Pharmaceutical Industry, including anyone who provides or supports medical product information services in scientific services groups. The views expressed on the MedCommForum website are those of the website visitors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Sponsor(s), its affiliates, or its licensees.
Membership benefits include, but are not limited to:
-- Identify and discuss key issues or hot topics facing the Medical
Communications industry
-- Benchmark for assessment of operational performance within a Medical
Communications organization
-- Derive best practices and industry standards within a Medical
Communications organization
To facilitate the membership benefits, the website has been built with the following features:
-- Medical Communications Groups and Member Profile Pages
-- News Items, Events, Surveys and Polls
-- Discussion Boards Forum 'Category' and 'Topic' Subscriptions
-- 'Web Alert' email and/or RSS feeds notifications of new content
"The collaboration between Cubist and Port City Web has been terrific, and both companies are committed to the success of this project," said Amyas Huston, Senior Manager, Medical Communications, at Cubist Pharmaceuticals.
"Our team at Port City Web has taken the ideas and concepts of Amyas and turned them into a working, online collaboration that will change Medical Communications," noted Erik Crago, CIO of Port City Web.
Plans are underway to enhance the MedCommForum site functionality which includes adding more of a social networking aspect for member initiated activities. Interface improvements across the site will expand both functionality and enhance user experience.
