ARETE-ZOE, as a consultancy, provides solutions to complex problems in the high stakes and high consequence environment of Global Pharmaceuticals, including clinical research, healthcare informatics, and public health. We blend established, Pharma sector methodologies, innovation, and adaptations/transfers from other sectors to identify and resolve consequential practices that pose risk and often
result in avoidable patient casualty. However, we are specifically, not a patient advocacy group but believe in optimizing organizational effectiveness and that smart business is agile, competitive and profitable, while intrinsically safe, secure, and resilient. We work within a global context because transnational interests influence national circumstances and choices at point of prescription. The published materials provide a glimpse of one aspect of our services to demonstrate both knowledge and going participation within the Pharmaceutical Industry. Our analysis and consultancy includes all channels of misuse, diversion, counterfeiting and illicit exploitation of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and precursor chemicals. Our advisement is to manufactures, jurisdictional entities, insurers, legislators, litigators, patients, and health care providers. This scope also frequently segues into the nexus of crime and terrorism as significant influencers that undermine sector integrity differentiated from other criminal activity. Obviously, vulnerability assessment, information collection management and intelligence production supporting decision-making for risk reduction and interventions are routinely with the scope of our services as well as design and implementation of operational control measures.
