Background

Signal management is integral to pharmacovigilance work and serves as the basis for subsequent risk management. However, signals are often accompanied by noise, which poses considerable challenges to those who perform signal detection work. How can we leverage digital systems to achieve more stable, efficient, and reliable signal detection that meets regulatory requirements? How can we make signal risk assessment more accurate while ensuring proper documentation and traceability?
 
Today, let’s visit Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceuticals, a strategic partner of Taimei Technology and a long-term user of the eSafety solution. Let’s experience the efficiency improvement journey in signal detection work empowered by digital systems.

Challenge

Customer pain points

Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceuticals is a leading innovative high-tech pharmaceutical group in China specializing in research, development, production, and sales of anti-drug-resistant and anti-infective drugs. One of their domestic production centers has developed into one of China’s top five antibiotic production bases. The antibiotic industry employs many people, with complex clinical environments and strict regulations. This presents exceptionally high demands for the efficiency, accuracy, stability, and traceability of pharmacovigilance activities, especially signal detection.

Cooperation history

Since 2018, Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceuticals and Taimei Technology have maintained close cooperation. In March 2023, Taimei Medical Technology released the new eSafety solution. As the first batch of customers to use the upgraded eSafety solution, Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceuticals successfully experienced the new signal detection function, resulting in more accurate and efficient risk management with impressive results.

Solution

1. Efficiency improvement

Manual signal detection requires significant amount of time and manpower, and it is challenging to guarantee reliability. With Taimei’s eSafety solution, pharmacovigilance personnel can continuously and reliably retrieve potential risk signals based on the system’s set criteria, significantly improving detection efficiency.
 
Taking Xiangbei Welman Pharmaceuticals risk signal management as an example, manual retrieval of adverse event reports received yearly may require several full-time staff to spend hundreds of hours processing them. However, with automatic processing and after setting up the signal detection plan, detection can be carried out according to the established schedule, significantly saving repetitive work and increasing efficiency by 50%.

2. Improved accuracy

It is crucial to set reasonable detection strategies for risk signals, such as medical and quality signals, which require consideration of different detection standards. The eSafety solution offers various signal detection solutions, including traditional detection methods, computer-assisted detection methods, and cluster analysis.

3. Full traceability

Pharmaceutical companies must take corresponding risk actions for confirmed signals, and the records of the entire process have to be recorded and traced in the system. The eSafety solution can achieve full traceability, providing details such as time, operation type, and other relevant information, enabling the signal handling process to be seamlessly traced back at any time, and standardizing risk management work.
