Our Transparency Solutions

Transparency Managed Services

We offer full service transparency support for companies looking to minimize the resource burden of a transparency program. Our team can apply our own processes and tools or use your existing systems to assist with transparency reporting.

Launching Transparency Systems
We bring an independent, objective view to the deployment of transparency software. Whether you are launching a system for the first time, or transitioning to a new system, we can identify and implement solutions that match your business needs.
Program Assessments
It is important to understand the current state of your transparency program. We help clients review processes, documentation, and data for potential enhancements and audit readiness. We can help by providing subject matter expertise on industry best practices and helping companies prepare for internal or external audits.
Documentation

Having accurate documentation about business decisions and processes is essential to maintaining a robust transparency program. We help companies develop concise business rules or assumptions documents, system overview and functionality manuals, Standard Operating Procedures, and work instructions to provide clarity around your transparency program.

Change Management

The best transparency systems are only as good as the data being entered by your employees and third-party vendors. To assist with effectively communicating across your organization, Potomac provides a range of change management and training solutions including FAQs, quick reference cards, and brochures. Potomac also offers training courses on global, US, and state and local laws; specific source systems; and third-party requirements for vendors and CROs.

Data Integrity

Our experienced, detail-oriented team can quickly detect unusual patterns in your data and recommend potential process or system improvements. We can provide outlier checks and selected deep dive analysis, source system audits, reconciliations, receipt review, SOPs on data certification and review processes, and interactive data visualization and dashboards.
