Benefits of Digital Transformation in Regulatory Affairs

1.    Better Regulatory Data Exchange

 

No matter what good standard electronic data exchange presents, correct information by senders or receivers, efficiency, and productivity gains are limited.

 

But smart digitization can reduce this dilemma by automating data compilation and extraction. With this, document templates are encoded with XML formatting that allows linked, live data to be extracted from databases. As a result, this reduces repetitive manual data re-entry as well as any chances for human error and delay. In addition, all the checking can take place at once.

2.    Agile Data Sharing

 

Besides Regulatory Affairs, other crucial areas like Manufacturing, Pharmacovigilance, and Clinical will be able to exchange and re-use data with great ease in order to support business processes and inquiries of regulators.

3.    Improved Data Quality and Insights

 

Digitized content can bring about information to companies that are more complete and of better quality, not to mention better content availability and insight that would then allow teams to respond to requirements and needs in a faster and more efficient manner.

 

There are methods that are taking effect in various functions that create and update data, including structured content authoring in which routine documents are automatically populated with already-approved sections of content. This allows for more collaborative contributions and prompts re-use.

4.    All-Round Product Visibility

 

As original data, instead of the documents that contain it, become the main target of regulatory information management, life science companies must have all the capabilities of managing and maintaining its quality and currency.

 

With the demands of regulators on the rise, the scope and range of the data that firms need to manage will also increase, touching a vast array of databases, including clinical, toxicology and more. Regulatory agencies, on the other hand, will carry on building global databases for manufacturers, marketing authorization holders, excipients as well as pharmacovigilance.

 

In order to make sure related information can be easily connected and extracted, data must be linked and managed using metadata. When the ISO Identification of Medicinal Products (IDMP) goes live, regulatory authorities will be able to extract any data relevant to a product.

 

With this being the case, life science firms can use this to call up any information for their product’s aspect and its current status at any time for any purpose. And it’ll be all the better if that product information can be accessed and traced at any point in the manufacturing/regulatory continuum.

5.    Manage Business Processes Across Functional Teams

 

Most companies these days are attempting to break down departmental or functional information silos. The problem is that if every part of the company has its own system or way of doing things, then it becomes increasingly difficult to share data and insights, as well as work together to accomplish shared goals.

 

That’s why there’s a growing need for cross-functional collaboration in the life science industry as it promotes better productivity, insight, and efficiency. But to acquire this, companies must find a way where they can work together instinctively without much struggle.
