On November 28, 2017, ArisGlobal held a webinar with DIA, “How Automation Can Deliver the Holy Grail in Safety: Achieve Productivity, Compliance and Quality”.  In this webinar, we posed a few questions to the audience, and came up with some interesting information.  We took this and spent some thinking about what this means to our clients in the PV ecosystem.

This is the second in a three-part blog series on National Pharmacovigilance systems and the role of technology in bridging the gaps in pharmacovigilance of regulatory authorities around the world.

Life sciences companies confront increasingly stringent requirements on safety signal detection and risk management. Regulatory authorities are taking steps to further safeguard patients by requiring companies to take more comprehensive steps to assess and monitor the benefit-risk balance of their products.

For many companies, signal detection in drug safety pharmacovigilance ranks closely behind regulatory submissions and case management as a key activity because it helps to proactively monitor a product’s risks that come to light from tracking the data submitted to internal and external drug safety databases and platforms.

ArisGlobal has created an Automation in Pharmacovigilance Knowledge Hub to help explain, in easily digestible terms, everything you need to know about automation in PV.

How far along are you in realizing benefits from automation? What is the biggest hindrance in adopting automation technologies? This two-part blog series analyzes polling responses from a recent DIA webinar and shares ArisGlobal’s thoughts on practical use cases for automation in pharmacovigilance and regulatory.

Recent advancements in technology are enabling automation to help address the growing PV challenges organizations face. Yet, when webinar attendees were asked “Does your company have a strategic plan for PV Automation?” responses were mixed.
