In pharmacovigilance, where data integrity, security, and accessibility are critical, the IT department serves as an essential partner to ensure compliance and smooth operations. IT involvement spans across several key areas, including secure data exchange, system transfers, business continuity planning, and robust system security.

In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs is paramount. This responsibility is shared between various departments, with Quality Assurance (QA) and Pharmacovigilance (PV) playing crucial roles. While Pharmacovigilance focuses on monitoring and assessing adverse drug reactions, the QA department ensures that the processes involved in drug production and monitoring meet stringent quality standards. The intersection of these two functions is critical for maintaining drug safety and regulatory compliance.
