USING DIGITAL INNOVATION
TO ESTABLISH AN AUTHENTIC REPORTER DIALOGUE

Capture Purer Data, Faster
“Consider the impact on American services if other industries
routinely operated in the same manner as many aspects of health
care:
• If airline travel were like health care, each pilot would be free
to design his or her own preflight safety check, or not to
perform one at all. ”
Pharmaceutical	Public	Policy – Thomas	R.	Fulda,	Alan	Lyles,	Albert	I	Wertheimer
Digital solutions put the patient at the
forefront of the Safety processes
Capturing relevant, essential and complete data at the
first interaction
Why surfacing targeted questions and FAQs in-stream
maximises the value of the initial contact and reduces
low-value follow up.
Digital solutions ensure your REMS and RMP
commitments are met with appropriate evidence
AERs across product portfolio or lifecycle
New products
Need fast feedback as complete as
possible to fuel analytics for informed
decisions in a timely & consistent manner.
Established products

in a compliant, automated manner with an
emphasis on product quality. 4

No amount of post-processing by PV Professionals or
AI tools can rectify deficiencies of data quality

Adverse drug events (ADEs) are an
increasingly relevant issue for healthcare
systems as they are associated with poorer
health outcomes and avoidable misuse of
resources

Developed world.
~39% of ADRs in
pediatric patients
can be life
threatening or fatal.

admissions to hospital? A systematic review. Br J Clin Pharmacol. 2007;63:136–47.
Non-adherence and AERs: ART for HIV
Patients with specific AEs were significantly less likely
to adhere to ART compared to patients without these
Adverse events:
Confusion OR = 0.349;
Taste disturbances OR = 0.485;
Nausea OR = 0.574;

So how do Regulatory agencies try to
address these challenges?
FDA - REMS
EMA - RMPs
PMDA - PMS
The FDA most often determined that REMS were
not meeting their goals because of deficiencies in
patient and prescriber awareness of drug risks.

Medicines are prescribed, I use them. That’s it. I
never read the package leaflet. When you read it,
you lose courage to use them any longer, and in
my opinion you have to use them… the colours
tell me how: blue is for the prostate, and I have
orange and white, and for my sugar I use a tablet
somewhat larger. ……..
Knowledge about medication? I have no idea

Almost impossible. Cannot be statins. Not
possible. Denied possibility. CPK didn’t
indicate statin-related adverse effect.
Doctor said there were no side effects.
Can’t be the statins, thinks it is a miracle

For Signal Detection
Data Quality is key
Data Quality: vigiGrade….Focus on the Intake
ICSR value is directly proportional to the amount of
clinically relevant information they include.
Overall, only 12% reports provide the desired
level of information
Physicians consumers using e-reporting tools also
generate greater proportions of well-documented
reports overall
