Safety Data Exchange Agreements
Manage Pharmacovigilance contracts and SDEAs
It is a legally mandated obligation for each pharmaceutical company to track pharmacovigilance agreements and contracts relating to pharmaceutical products and the exchange of Adverse Events.
Rather than being a requirement that can be met by a stand-alone contracts management system, this requirement is more complex. CARA allows for the interaction of these contracts with the Pharmacovigilance domain, ensuring consistency and accuracy of data, and reducing manual input and tracking.
Benefits
Create documents and forms with dynamic content
Create contracts and supplier evaluations using document templates, or through the CARA Forms functionality to provide user input screens that are then rendered dynamically to PDF.
Contract approval and eSignature
Full workflow internally in CARA to manage review, approval and eSignature, or to external users / counterparties for eSignature using our CARA integration with DocuSign.
Integrated with PV
Seamlessly linked with Pharmacovigilance on the CARA Life Sciences Platform, or integrated with e.g. ARGUS and ARISg. Output to PSMF.
Full reporting and tracking dashboards
Get email alerts or use the full reporting / dashboards in CARA to track things like upcoming contract expiration, number of contracts per country, total process time for signing contracts etc.
