Safety Surveillance

The DCRI Safety Surveillance group represent decades of experience in clinical research and safety reporting. They join clinical and pharmacological expertise with extensive knowledge of regulatory requirements and processes to provide our clients with unparalleled speed, efficiency, and thoroughness in reporting adverse events (AEs).

The Safety Surveillance group provides full service safety reporting services, including serious AE data receipt and cleaning, database creation and maintenance, coding, narrative writing, investigator notification, medical monitor review, and reporting to regulatory agencies.

Safety Surveillance is involved in all stages of a research project, providing expert input in the design of key trial documents and processes. This ground-floor approach means that AE collection and reporting issues and procedures have been addressed thoroughly and incorporated into the trial design and implementation.

Throughout the life of a trial, Safety Surveillance can create tailored tools and resources to address any safety issues that arise, from briefing site personnel on reporting requirements to the design and maintenance of customized databases. These tested, successful methods translate into fast, accurate, and thorough AE reporting and reliable regulatory compliance.

DCRI Safety Surveillance medical monitors are practicing physicians working in academic, clinical, and research roles. They combine clinical experience with regulatory and research expertise for a comprehensive and relevant safety data review, evaluation, and consultation.
