As a company with a longstanding
commitment to patient and product safety,
Johnson & Johnson is pleased to be a partner
in the Health Care Notification Network
, which rolled out in October
2008. Using electronic communication
methods, the  dramatically
improves the process of notifying U.S.
physicians of time-sensitive and important
patient safety information. It provides
timely, eective and ecient delivery of
information to the nation’s physicians, and
now other manufacturers are recognizing
the importance of this groundbreaking
communication system.
Free to all licensed U.S. physicians
and their sta, the  is used solely
for FDA-mandated Patient Safety Alerts,
fulfilling the recently updated FDA guidance
for the electronic delivery of these alerts.
Physicians and health care providers can
register to receive electronic alerts at www.
hcnn.net or through participating medical
societies and other  partners. The
 is a green initiative in that it reduces
paper usage and the need for mail delivery.

In a unique partnership, Johnson & Johnson
Medical Russia, along with Janssen-Cilag,
is working with the Russian Ministry of
Health to achieve a professional-education
goal by creating the Russian Center for
Professional Education in Kazan. The
center has the capacity to train up to 3,000
physicians every year; two more training
centers in Russia are being planned. This
partnership will help improve health care
access for patients while providing better
training to physicians and, ultimately, more
access to improved medical technologies.
