Realizing The Opportunity To Increase Quality And Improve Efficiency Of Safety Data Collection Within Patient Support Programs

Patient Support Programs (PSPs) have changed dramatically over the past decade; they have become global activities, and grown significantly in scale and complexity. While PSPs are also an increasingly valuable resource for pharmacovigilance due to the extensive patient safety data they generate, they have suffered from the traditional lack of standardized mechanisms for recording, reconciling and managing this data, resulting in resource heavy processes, and a lost opportunity for deeper product understanding for Pharma. Fortunately, new technologies are helping to tackle this challenge.
