Adverse event reporting and pharmacovigilance

This workflow automatically processes adverse event reports from multiple sources, performs safety signal detection, and generates regulatory submissions to ensure compliance with pharmacovigilance requirements.

Workflow Trigger

Adverse event report is submitted through patient portal, healthcare provider, or clinical trial system.

Visual Flow

Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Receive adverse event report

    System detects incoming adverse event report from various sources including patient portals, healthcare providers, or clinical trial platforms. Initial data validation and standardization occurs.

  2. 2
    Action

    Extract and standardize data

    AI system extracts relevant medical information, patient demographics, and drug details using NLP. Data is mapped to MedDRA coding standards for regulatory compliance.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Assess severity and causality

    Algorithm evaluates the adverse event severity, determines causality relationship to study drug, and classifies urgency level. Routes serious adverse events for expedited processing.

  4. 4
    Action

    Perform safety signal detection

    Statistical analysis compares event against historical safety database to identify potential new safety signals. Machine learning models flag unusual patterns or emerging risks.

  5. 5
    Action

    Generate regulatory reports

    System automatically creates required regulatory submissions including CIOMS forms, periodic safety reports, and expedited reports. Documents are formatted per regional requirements.

  6. 6
    Action

    Submit to regulatory authorities

    Automated submission of safety reports to FDA, EMA, and other global regulatory bodies within required timelines. Confirmation receipts are tracked and stored.

  7. 7
    Output

    Update safety database records

    All processed adverse event data, analysis results, and regulatory submissions are permanently stored in the pharmacovigilance database. Audit trails and compliance documentation are maintained.

Outputs

  • Regulatory compliance reports submitted to authorities
  • Updated pharmacovigilance safety database
  • Safety signal alerts and risk assessments

Key Metrics

  • Adverse event processing time
  • Regulatory submission compliance rate
  • Safety signal detection accuracy
