Hospital ADR Reporting Services (Vanessa’s Law)
We support reporting for pharmaceuticals, biologics, medical devices, DINs, NPNs, and more, aligning with Health Canada guidelines for electronic submissions via the Canada Vigilance Program.
EXPERTISE
Compliance Support Tailored for Canadian Hospitals
We understand the unique pressures hospitals face under Vanessa's Law, the Protecting Canadians from Unsafe Drugs Act, which mandates reporting of serious adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and medical device incidents (MDIs) to Health Canada. Our boutique approach starts with listening to your institution's specific needs, then crafting customized solutions to ensure seamless compliance, from documentation to submission, helping mid-sized healthcare facilities navigate these requirements with reliability, speed, and transparency.
Enacted to enhance post-market drug safety, Vanessa's Law requires hospitals to report serious ADRs (those causing death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, disability, congenital abnormalities, or requiring intervention) and MDIs within 30 calendar days of first documentation in patient records.
