Introduction:In 2020, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration received reports of 2.2 million adverse events, which is a 350% increase since 2010 with an associated increase in pharmaceutical companies' pharmacovigilance (PV) operational cost. Guided by the task technology fit model as the conceptual framework, the purpose of this qualitative single case study was to explore strategies used by PV systems leaders to implement innovative technology solutions. The objective of the study was to develop a system model to explore strategies to implement innovative technology to automate AE detection, processing, and reporting. Methods: Data were collected using semistructured interviews and company data to address the research question on strategies to implement innovative technology solutions to automate adverse events case processing. The collected data was analyzed using 5-step data analysis, compiling, disassembling, reassembling, interpreting data, and concluding the findings. Results: The implications for positive social change include the potential to identify strategies in making pharmaceutical medicines safer for human consumption. Discussion: PV leaders can redirect the savings from PV operations in terms of cost and workforce tasks towards investing in the actual PV tasks like benefit-risk assessments of products; thereby, improving patient outcomes and making the products more efficacious and safer for human use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
