Drug Information Association and FDA Host Information Day for New Case Safety Reports Standard

HORSHAM, PA.— DIA has partnered with the Food and Drug Administration to hold FDA Information Day: Individual Case Safety Reports (ICSR), November 29-30, at Silver Spring Civic Building, One Veterans Place, in Silver Spring, MD. Participants will discuss at length the latest information about the new ICSR and Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) standards and how they interlink, as well as the implementation planning from a national and European perspective.

These new standards reflect the changing horizon of pharmacovigilance data management, according to the DIA program planning committee. Attendees need to know the latest on the ICSR standard and how it will impact the industry. They’ll gain the right tools to navigate this new reporting model.

The sessions will begin with Lonnie Smith Policy Analyst Data Standards Council and Office of Critical Paths OC, FDA speaking about the role of the ICSR and IDMP standards in the pharmaceutical and healthcare domains. The first day will provide guidance on the new ICSR standard, and the second day will focus on best practices for implementing the standards. Overall sessions will include:
