As patient engagement models evolve—spanning marketing programs, digital platforms, and clinical initiatives—pharmacovigilance oversight is becoming increasingly fragmented and complex. This session explores how MAHs can retain control and accountability while navigating shared responsibilities with third-party vendors. It dives into building fit-for-purpose vendor models, strengthening oversight frameworks, and ensuring continuous inspection readiness through effective self-inspection and audit strategies. Ultimately, it challenges organizations to rethink how they maintain a state of control in an increasingly outsourced, interconnected PV ecosystem.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Identify patient engagement program models as intake sources for safety information and educate on baseline requirements for GVP Compliance
  • Apply practical approaches to select, qualify and oversee PV vendors including performance monitoring and risk-based oversight
  • Implement self-inspection and audit practices to maintain inspection readiness and control of the PV system
