Documentation and Reporting
ProPharma provides an in-house validated database that integrates with Pharmacovigilance (PV) systems, such as Oracle Argus or Veeva Vault Safety, it is designed to simplify workflows, facilitating direct transfers of AE cases for immediate triage and review. With our advanced system, AE cases are delivered quickly to our clients or the ProPharma's dedicated PV teams, allowing for prompt assessment and action. Additionally, it triggers timely report to the regulatory system (i.e., FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)), ensures that regulatory requirements are met. ProPharma empowers organizations to maintain high standards of compliance and safety while optimizing operational efficiency.

Follow-up Processing
Utilizing a contact center for Adverse Event Follow-Up (AEFU) provides several significant advantages. Our representatives are trained in pharmacovigilance protocols, ensuring accurate and relevant information is gathered during follow-up calls or communications. ProPharma offers proactive outreach service to patients and healthcare providers to obtain additional details that may not have been captured in the initial report, resulting in a more comprehensive understanding of adverse events. This approach improves operational efficiency, allowing your pharmacovigilance team to concentrate on critical tasks such as data analysis and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, standardized follow-up processes enhance consistency in data collection, which boosts the reliability of reports and aids in safety evaluations. Regular follow-ups also help build trust and engagement with patients and providers, reinforcing a commitment to safety and care.

Enhanced Reconciliation and Safety Monitoring
ProPharma's activity reporting process provide complete traceability of each AE case and delivers detailed insights into all AE activities. We promote transparency and accountability using systematic documentation. Our automated reconciliation process aligns AE cases between the MI and PV systems, cross-referencing AE case numbers in both databases. With access to our proprietary Business Insights & Analytics (BIA) reporting platform, you'll find comprehensive AE case data and program metrics available 24/7/365. This robust system enhances decision-making and reinforces our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and operational efficiency.


ProPharma’s Advanced Contact Center Technology in Pharmacovigilance
Efficient Triage with IVR and Call Redirection
Our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system and call redirection capabilities significantly enhance our triage processes. By efficiently routing calls to the appropriate representatives, we ensure that inquiries related to Adverse Events (AEs) are addressed promptly and accurately. This technology minimizes wait times and improves the overall experience for both patients and healthcare providers.
Smart Report Generation
Our smart report generation tool automates the merging of content directly from the intake process, greatly reducing the potential for errors associated with manual reporting. This streamlined case processing workflow not only improves accuracy but also expedites the generation of essential reports. As a result, our teams can dedicate more time to critical safety assessments and less to administrative tasks.
Automated Follow-Up
Our follow-up automation system streamlines the process of sending forms and collecting additional information through written communication, significantly reducing administrative workloads. By automating these follow-up tasks, we ensure timely communication with stakeholders while freeing up valuable resources within your team. This efficiency enhances our ability to maintain thorough and accurate records of all interactions related to AEs.


Advanced Analytics for Duplicated Reports
With advanced analytical tools, we can effectively reconcile the duplicated reports and information. This capability helps identify discrepancies and confirms that all data is accurately reflected in the systems. We help enhancing the integrity of data, which is crucial for making informed safety decisions and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.
