FDA JumpStart wins HHS Innovates Award

The FDA’s “JumpStart Drug Review” was selected for a 2014 HHS Innovates Award!

This groundbreaking program was recognized as a “Secretary’s Pick” by Secretary Sylvia Matthews Burwell and Deputy Secretary Bill Corr. The JumpStart team received the award on Monday, July 21, 2014, at the HHS Innovates ceremony.

HHS Innovates was created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in 2010 to build a culture of innovation by facilitating the exchange of innovative ideas. To date, HHS employees have submitted nominations of innovations for nearly 500 exciting new staff-driven innovations that can benefit humanity.

Through the JumpStart process, FDA medical reviewers can now leverage automated analytics and data-driven tools to assess data from clinical trials more efficiently. This helps to ensure safe and effective drugs are approved quickly and seamlessly for public use.

We, at Pinnacle 21, are proud to have provided the software that drives the JumpStart process, as well as the service and support that enables these critical data quality assessments. And we congratulate the entire JumpStart team for their innovation, patience and tireless work in bringing the process to fruition.
