FDA relies on firms to submit accurate and complete data at the time of submission and UPDATE the existing registration and listing information when required. Automated validations in place can only eliminate certain deficiencies at the time of submission. Registration and listing data is widely used inside and outside FDA.
FDA Use of the R&L Data Inspections Imports Post-marketing surveillance Recalls and shortage programs Adverse Event Reporting Supply chain security Counterterrorism And many more www.fda.gov
Outside FDA Healthcare providers Patients Drug data banks Prescribing Dispensing Patients Drug data banks CMS and insurance industry Reimbursement Trades And many more www.fda.gov
Data Integrity Accuracy and consistency of stored data Imposed within a database at its design stage through the use of standard rules and procedures Maintained through the use of error checking and validation routines Registration and listing data integrity is essential for designing, implementing and using all those key programs.
In a nutshell… Registration and listing data submitted to FDA in accordance to section 510 of the FD&C Act, provides an inventory of all drugs and their representative labeling which are available in commercial distribution in the United States at the time; and all establishments involved in the manufacturing process of those drugs. WE ALL NEED THIS INFORMATION TO BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE AND UP-TO-DATE! www.fda.gov
Registration and Listing Compliance Procedure www.fda.gov
Surveillance Generate periodic reports to find common errors Tips from patients, healthcare providers and drug databanks Collaborate with other FDA offices and other government agencies Monitor commercial sales data Monitor import data www.fda.gov
