Pharmacovigilance

We Are the Front Line of Protecting Your Product and Your Patients From Risk

Improving the future of drug safety and compliance requires more than just contact centers and reporting adverse events. Realworld success requires an integrated approach to providing value across a products life cycle. We process and analyze safety data to confidently predict key signals and risk factors, identify safety issues and make recommendations for appropriate product utilization that maximizes patient outcomes.  

 

 

Manage the Unexpected With Proactive Approaches That Result in Timely Reporting

Complex market dynamics are increasing the costs of supporting compliant pharmacovigilance activities. As the industry continues to evolve and expand – greater than 20% per year increases in reported AEs, global expansion, changing regulatory requirements and outdated legacy safety systems – we believe your pharmacovigilance model should, too. Ensure your product is used safely and effectively throughout its life cycle by leveraging our robust compliance systems, cutting-edge technology and operations, and experienced talent.
