Analytical lifecycle management oriented development and validation of a new stability-indicating ultra-fast liquid chromatographic method: case study of Glycopyrrolate

A new stability-indicating liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the estimation of glycopyrrolate in pharmaceutical formulations. A contemporary approach to analytical life-cycle management was followed to develop a robust and reliable chromatographic method. Scouted method variables such as % methanol, the strength of tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate and mobile phase flow rate were optimized using the design of experiment approach and their effect on critical quality attributes was studied. The critical quality attributes viz. retention time, theoretical plate count and symmetry factor were highly influenced by the three critical method variables. Optimum chromatography was attained on a C-18 column with a mobile phase methanol: 10 mM tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulfate (80:20, v/v) flowing at 1.0 mL.min-1. Chromatographic method specificity was ensured by degrading the drug forcefully. Validation studies postulated method acceptability and suitability for estimating glycopyrrolate in both bulk as well as injection formulation. Results for parameters viz. linearity (5-250 µg.mL-1), accuracy (>99%) and precision (<2%) advocated method reliability. Overall the method was reliable and of optimum quality and, possess the potential of application in routine and bio-analytical purposes

The application of cost-benefit analysis on the management of large medical equipment / 中国医学装备

Objective: To forecast, analyze and evaluate the cost-benefit of large medical equipment in the three stages of whole life cycle included of investment decision-making stage, operation and use stage and update decision-making stage so as to achieve the aim that reasonably allocated diagnosis device resource. Methods: The breakeven point analysis, residual quantity analysis, method of return on investment per year and business income analysis of fixed assets per hundred RMB were applied to combined with cruor assembly line, high-end B-mode ultrasound scanner, PET-CT and other actual cases, and then the cost-benefit analysis of different stages in the whole life circle of large medical equipment was researched based on above data. Results: In the investment decision-making stage, the calculation shows that the break-even workload of testing cruor assembly line was 11317 person time, and the purchase wouldn't be suggested if projected workload was less than break-even workload. In the operation and use stage, the rate of return on investment per year in the operation period of computer B-mode ultrasound (12.5%) achieved better earnings. In the equipment replacement stage, the business income (242RMB) of fixed asset per hundred RMB of new equipment was higher than that of old equipment. Conclusion: The application of cost-benefit analysis in the whole life circle of large medical equipment and the establishment of efficiency evaluation system of corresponding equipment can play important role for realizing the unify of social benefit and cost-benefit of hospital.

The current status and future direction of Korean health technology assessment system

Health technology assessment was first introduced to the Republic of Korea in 2006 by amending the Medical Services Act. The Committee of New Health Technology Assessment (CNHTA) is the ministerial committee that has the responsibility of reviewing the safety and effectiveness of new health technology. CNHTA review plays a gatekeeping role for new health technology in Korea, which can increase the burden on patients in Korea, either by out-of pocket payments or co-pays for National Health Insurance covered service. This kind of gatekeeping is a function of the healthcare system in many countries where no financial cap such as a fixed budget or diagnosis-related group payment is applied. However, it has been argued that gatekeeping works against industrial promotion policy. The one-stop service introduced in 2014 is a system similar to US parallel review between the US Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This service provides a simultaneous process of regulatory review by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, identification of existing technology by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Services, and new health technology assessment by the National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency and the Ministry of Health and Welfare. This service is expected to reduce the total review process by 3 to12 months. A limited health technology appointment service was introduced in April 2014. This service designates orphan health technologies and health technologies for rare and incurable diseases and supports evidence development at designated hospitals. Several countries have similar systems: US Coverage with Evidence Development, Canadian Conditionally Funded Field Evaluation, UK Only in Research, and many others. The future direction of Health technology assessment should focus on the life cycle management of health technology. A consistent, continuous, and transformative mechanism to manage from the research and development of health technology to delisting obsolete technology to make room for new innovative technology is warranted.
