How to Stay Compliant with Evolving Regulatory Changes Using SafetyREADY

Technology has revolutionized the healthcare continuum, altering patient safety worldwide, while lowering costs and time. Recent reports have estimated that the pharmacovigilance (PV) and drug safety software market valued at USD 163.08 million in 2020 is estimated to touch nearly USD 240 million in 2026, with the CAGR at 6%.

An increase in incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is expected to lead to a growth in the PV and drug safety software market. According to a study published in 2019 by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year nearly 700,000 emergency visits and 100,000 hospitalizations occur due to adverse drug events (ADE).

With approximately 5% of patients hospitalized experiencing an ADE, there is a need for scientifically robust technology solutions for improved patient safety.

Swift. Scalable. Secure - safetyREADY^®

It is imperative to monitor, as well as to track, the accuracy and efficiency of a drug, ensuring that safety issues are entered and investigated when they arise. This will avoid delays and inaccurate reporting that could attract fines, time delays, and lack of regulatory compliance.

Moreover, life sciences companies face challenges in trying to stay updated with evolving regulatory compliance requirements. Therefore, it is important to keep the pace at which the regulatory authorities are updating compliance requirements.

Oracle Argus on a cloud based multi-tenant platform

Oracle Argus improves global compliance, increases efficiency of safety operations, and enhances case quality for faster and more informed decisions, but it is a challenge to implement it at optimal cost and within timelines.

Navitas Life Sciences has created safetyREADY^® to address such challenges. Oracle Argus is now available in the multi-tenant cloud and can be deployed rapidly using a pre-configured and pre-validated environment.

We met Mr. Subash J, Senior Program Manager, Delivery-Safety, at Navitas Life Sciences to gain insights about safetyREADY^® and how it will help in improving pharmacovigilance systems.
