The Challenge
Pharma companies require a substantial data entry workforce to accommodate the growing variety of intake sources and formats for adverse event ingestion. Introducing new sources entails the need for decentralized systems, trainings, and process changes.
Manual data entry, being error-prone and time-consuming, diverts attention from other valuable activities like medical reviews that contribute to patient safety.
Conventional systems and teams struggle to handle the high volume and unexpected spikes in cases, as seen during the recent pandemic.
The absence of centralized case tracking and data processing results in reconciliation challenges and inconsistent monitoring.
