Company History
Health Decisions started with one man's conviction that clinical development could be far more efficient. When working at the Centers for Disease Control in 1989, Dr. Michael Rosenberg realized that tedious, manual procedures were responsible not only for frequent delays in clinical trials but also for many errors requiring later correction at great expense. Government agencies and pharma and medical device companies were spending untold billions on processes that often stretched timelines and compromised quality rather than improving it. Dr. Rosenberg recognized that improving the efficiency of clinical development would free funds to develop more life-saving products and allow those products to reach medical professionals and patients much faster.
Determined to make a difference, in 1989 Dr. Rosenberg founded Health Decisions with two graduate student assistants at the University of North Carolina. From the outset, Dr. Rosenberg committed Health Decisions to a lean, focused approach that combined rethinking the processes of clinical development and using new technology to accelerate these optimized processes. Since 1989, Health Decisions has worked toward this vision, creating Agile Clinical Development—a methodology that sets the industry standard for efficiency.
