Regulatory information is arguably the most valuable asset of a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device company. It includes data, meta-data, documents and other forms of information about regulatory and submission intelligence, regulatory authority submission and reporting requirements, submission plans for new products and life cycle management activities, as well as product registration information, labeling, CMC, and safety submissions, communications from health authorities, and more
How regulatory information is managed has a profound impact on operational efficiency across the whole organization, on data quality, and ultimately on the company’s ability to meet the needs of patients. As global regulatory requirements, technology, data sources, and data standards evolve, the importance of sound regulatory information management becomes even greater.
DIA’s Regulatory Submissions, Information, and Document Management (RSIDM) Forum brings together industry and regulatory stakeholders working across the scope of regulatory information to examine current data standards and requirements and effective regulatory information management approaches to align related systems. The Forum presents four tracks: Regulatory Information Management (RIM) Business, RIM Technology, Electronic Document Management, and Electronic Regulatory Submissions. Cross-track sessions provide the opportunity to discuss key connection points across major components of regulatory information, and plenary sessions featuring regulatory intelligence updates by FDA and other regulatory authorities are offered each day.
As one of the program committee members, SVP – Pharma & Life Sciences V. “Bala” Balasubramanian spoke during two sessions:
- Session 6, Track 1: RIM Reference Model: 2019 Progress/Call for Engagement on Tuesday, February 11 at 11:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; and
- Session 9, Track 2: Harnessing Digital Technologies to Transform Life Sciences on Wednesday, February 12 at 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m.
