Regulatory
Support rapid investigation of new or increased adverse events related to medical products.
What
Support AE investigations with interoperable Label
As a first step toward streamlining the ability to support rapid investigation of new or increased adverse events related to medical products, structured drug labeling information is a critical advancement. With structured labels that include sections such as structured adverse reaction section and ingredients adverse events related to medical products can more easily be updated and discovered.
Why
Transform fragmented sources of AE investigations into a harmonized interoperable ecosystem
Ability to identify source of adverse events (e.g., specific ingredient, manufacturer or drug-drug interaction) is limited because:
- No interoperable standards exist to support a harmonized data ecosystem for AE investigations
- Medical product information (labeling data) is siloed, if structured, or unstructured
- AE identification and reporting is a highly manual process
- Pharmacy information are typically siloed
Benefits
Reduce unnecessary health issues and save more lives
Enhance speed, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of:
- Detection of new and/or increased medical products-related adverse events
- Investigation of the source of medical product adverse events
Integration of healthcare, pharmacy and public health information systems.
Promotes rapid public health actions to reduce and prevent adverse events, improving health outcomes.
Regulatory Workflow

Resources & Implementation Guides
A program of work was initiated under Vulcan to deliver an Implementation Guide for this topic
Once complete, this new IG will explain how to manage regulatory workflows and regulatory transactions that include FHIR documents for electronic Medicinal Product Information (ePI), Pharmaceutical Quality Information (PQI), and Regulatory Correspondence
