FDA is implementing electronic data
collection to improve adverse event reporting across the agency.
FDA's current processes and systems for adverse event reporting
vary across its centers and are not optimal for the efficient
collection of voluntary and mandatory adverse event reports,
product problems/consumer complaints, or errors associated with the
use of FDA-regulated products. Current FDA reporting forms (Forms
FDA 3500, 3500A, 1932, and 1932a) are an outgrowth of a paper
process era and frequently result in the submission of inconsistent
and poor quality information. In addition, the agency is limited in
its ability to modify its paper forms to keep pace with changes in
the types of regulated products and the information necessary to
meet evolving standards to ensure post market safety. Further, the
existing supporting business processes are not able to efficiently
manage the information being provided on the paper forms.
FDA is implementing this new
information collection in order to receive electronic data to
improve adverse event reporting across the agency.
