Mastering Computer Systems in Pharmacovigilance

Pharmacovigilance is the science and practice of monitoring and assessing the safety of pharmaceutical products. It involves the systematic collection, analysis, and evaluation of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and other relevant safety information. The primary goal of pharmacovigilance is to ensure patient safety by identifying and minimizing risks associated with medications.

Pharmacovigilance aims at making the patient and the world safer by keeping an watch over the safety and risk profile of the medicinal products. To implement Pharmacovigilance, there are Pharmacovigilance systems and their quality systems. These pharmacovigilance systems can be implemented through Computer Systems. Hence understanding of the computer systems is important to deliver top quality pharmacovigilance operations.

This chapter is all about understanding Computer systems in Pharmacovigilance, the software development approach and the maintenance guidelines. This course will equip you with the required skills to manage computer systems in the Drug safety function.
