Pharmacovigilance Software’s widely used in Industry
In the age of rapid shift in data and analytics, the pharmacovigilance software paradigm allows the science of pharmacovigilance to advance at a fast pace.
Pharmacovigilance software database offers alerts for fast cases, follow-up cases, and reports submission to fulfill regulatory timeline compliance. Any pharmacovigilance safety database must be deposited up to date with the most advanced regulatory requirements and certified to meet international standards and business requirements. Safety databases expedite the reporting of individual and aggregate safety data to authorities and third parties and provide critical information for detecting safety signals and the ongoing evaluation of the risk-benefit profile of the company’s products.
Factors to consider include:
- Costs of maintenance and Implementation
- Hosting models accessibility
- Previous experience
- Interoperability and Compatibility
