Newly-Launched Network Provides Rapid Communication with Physicians
April 17th, 2008
A new network to deliver drug safety alerts online to US physicians was launched March 25, 2008. The Health Care Notification Network (HCNN) replaces a decades-old system that relied on paper and US mail delivery. The HCNN will also be available for rapid communication with physicians in the event of emergency public health or bio-terror events.
The Network is the result of a three-year effort and collaboration between US medical society leaders, liability carriers, health plans, consumer advocacy groups, government leaders and industry, including major pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Registration for US physicians is available immediately at http://www.hcnn.net, where physicians may find more information about online safety Alert services.
