Electronic Standard for Medical Information Expert Committee

April 2024

In Japan, reporting by ICH E2B(R3) to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency has become mandatory as of April 1, 2019. For smooth handling of adverse drug reaction reports, the Drug Evaluation Committee of the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association has published the "Guidance for Electronic Reporting of Adverse Drug Reactions and Infectious Disease Cases" (latest edition*: issued in September 2022). In actual training, I am sure that the training materials are prepared in accordance with the experience and knowledge of the target audience. To help pharmaceutical companies implement training more efficiently and appropriately, and to reduce the burden on training personnel in preparing training materials, we have prepared training materials at Electronic Standard for Medical Information Expert CommitteeTF2-1.
