Analysis Sentence Maker is a Microsoft® Word add-in tool designed to automate the process of "creating standard text from reports" in the pharmaceutical industry. This tool enables efficiency and uniformity in the task of creating standard text.
In the pharmaceutical industry, the task of creating standard text from reports involves visually analyzing outputs from systems such as SAS, comparing/picking up/sorting necessary data items, and then transcribing appropriate sentences. Additionally, the created text may need third-party quality control (QC) as required.
Since the process of creating text involves the aforementioned analysis, it requires skill, and there are many conventions for writing (such as the order of describing adverse events and how to describe the number of duplicate events). These tasks are done manually, leading to a significant amount of time being spent, and the work tends to become person-dependent.
This add-in tool analyzes the task of creating standard text from reports, models the task for each business process (creates rules for use with this add-in tool), and achieves automation of standard text creation based on the model. Furthermore, by using the tool’s traceability feature, it contributes to the efficiency of third-party QC.
