CMO COMPLIANCE™ 4.5 has arrived! Thanks very much to all our clients who have provided invaluable feedback as CMO continue to simplify the Inspection, Audit and Certification data collection and reporting process.

After much deliberation during internal design and development workshops, CC v4.5 has been released with a primary focus on enhancing the end user experience during scheduling and auditing processes as well as enabling more user configurable functionality.

A full description of what we have included in v4.5 is available from your secure login, however in this more public domain we can say you will notice enhancements throughout the application. In particular enhanced dashboard functionality, and enhancements to on screen trending.

Customising CMO COMPLIANCE is now even easier with the introduction of even more additional information fields in every module. The CRM and Invoice modules have been further integrated with our core modules. There are also general improvements to search, mapping and directions features. We look forward to your feedback and will of course consider any product improvements for the next release scheduled for a February release.

For further information on the key features and upgrade to version4.5 please contact CMO Global on support@cmoglobal.com.

Over 60 percent of people worldwide will be affected by a genetic change at some point in their lives that can result in a range of diseases such as cystic fibrosis, epilepsy and cancer.
In a world first, The Human Variome Project aims to collect information on every variation in every gene worldwide. However, out of the 20,000 human genes mapped, only 3,000 have any information available on their variations. "Currently there is no standardized way to capture this information and make it of use to clinicians," says Professor Richard Cotton, lead author of the paper, Convenor of the Human Variome Project and honorary researcher at the University of Melbourne.

"There is a staggering error rate of 40 percent in some reporting of genetic variations. This means clinicians and specialists cannot solely rely on the research literature to inform the life and death decisions of diagnosis and prognosis of genetic disorders."
The project aims to produce standards for the storage, transmission and use of genetic variation information which for many will reduce the enormously time consuming task of seeking data to assist in providing patients with information.

"Once these pilot projects are complete, we will be able to roll out suitable systems around the globe and improve the health of billions of people," Professor Cotton said.
In order to raise funding for this enormous project, the HVP has created a charity called "Adopt a Gene" whereby organizations and support groups can sponsor the curation of specific genes. "People in the past thought this task was too big, too impossible, but the news is it's happening," Professor Cotton said.
