Abstract:
Information Technology (IT) could have a prominent role towards the "Active Pharmacovigilance" (AP) paradigm by facilitating the analysis of potential Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). PVClinical project aims to build an IT platform enabling the investigation of potential ADRs in the clinical environment and beyond. In this paper, we outline the respective EU regulatory framework and the related Business Processes (BPs), elaborated based on input from clinicians and PV experts as part of the project's "user requirements analysis" phase, highlighting their potential pivotal role in the design of IT tools aiming to support AP.

Pharmacovigilance
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.
