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.
