Merrill Brink International Releases White Paper “Pharmacovigilance: Five keys to language transparency and optimised reporting”
St. Paul, Minnisota (PRWEB UK) 19 August 2013 -- Merrill Brink International, a leading global provider of language solutions for global companies and law firms, today announced that it has published a new white paper, “Pharmacovigilance: Five keys to language transparency and optimised reporting.”
Pharmacovigilance is gaining global attention as a multi- and cross-area discipline that deals with the incidence and frequency of adverse events related to pharmaceuticals and medical devices worldwide. The reporting of these events is critical to building a valid pharmacovigilance program that can effectively identify issues before they impact public health.
However, language can be a barrier in reporting. In many instances, adverse events and databases are reported in the local language. The adverse effect reports (AERs) must be translated from the local language to English, with care being taken to ensure that patient confidentiality is not breached at any point. Eventually, these reports are translated into multiple languages to meet various countries’ requirements. How prepared is your organisation to address pharmacovigilance standards? The white paper addresses the following questions:
• Does your organisation have a formalised process for adverse event reporting?
• Is your team trained in maintaining patient confidentiality?
• Who is responsible for translating the AERs? Are the translators certified medical translation specialists?
• What quality control protocols are in place to ensure that AER reporting is accurately captured and translated?
• What financial and operational benefits can a language services provider offer?
