Abstract:
We describe a new computer-based, network-driven system for administering, transferring, and evaluating reports of spontaneous adverse drug reactions and serious adverse events. The system consists of three regional centers, one coordinating center, and a central database at the national drug regulatory authority. In view of its high level of data security, reliability, easy expandability, and inexpensiveness due to the use of standard shareware products, the system can serve as a model for a clinical health information network.
