How we transform organizations like yours

Challenge

This leading biotech faced challenges in clinical trial feasibility due to complex and inconsistent processes. Using multiple systems led to a lack of standardization in questionnaires, causing inefficiencies for site stakeholders and internal teams. To streamline operations, Roche implemented Cognizant’s Shared Investigator Platform (SIP) to establish a standardized approach and improve efficiency across therapeutic areas.

Success highlights
  • Achieved 36% reduction in average feasibility questionnaire completion time
  • Reduced completion time to an average of four days in a single month, setting a company record
  • Streamlined feasibility questionnaires allows more time addressing critical, study-specific topics
Challenge

Life sciences companies have many regulatory responsibilities, including the obligation to document and maintain consumer feedback on the safety and efficacy of their products. That obligation was increasing exponentially, with the volume of individual case safety reports doubling year over year. Cognizant automated repetitive manual activities with a zero-touch robotic process automation solution.

Success highlights
  • Achieved 100% automation on reimbursements for complex DRG contracts
  • Increased provider satisfaction scores by nearly 15% with utilization and quality management
  • Increased network/coordination of care satisfaction score by 20%
  • Achieved 100% automation of appeals and grievances, as well as full compliance with state regulatory guidelines
Challenge

An orthopedic medical device manufacturer struggled with declining revenue collections and inefficiencies in addressing pended claims due to poor system integration. Field sales representatives failed to gather insurance eligibility data before distributing products, exacerbating costs. The company partnered with Cognizant to create a more efficient and streamlined process.

Success highlights
  • Saved $1.18M in operating costs
  • Increased net revenue by $8.82M
  • 50% decrease in DSO, from 72 days to 36 days
  • Increased productivity 12%
