Trends & Best Practices in Global Drug Product Labeling Management: Taking Control of the End-to-End Labeling Process

Drug product labeling is continuing to grow both in complexity and strategic importance as the key document for communication of benefit: risk to health care professionals and patients. Life science companies not only have to ensure harmony of messaging from Core Data Sheet to Local Prescribing Information, but also track and document the implementation of labeling changes and any local variations. In addition, there is increasing pressure by Health Authorities to demonstrate overall performance, quality and compliance of the end-to-end labeling process.

To address these challenges, a unified global labeling continuum that coordinates upstream (i.e. signal detection) and downstream (i.e. the printing and distribution of the label) activities requires an integrated services, process and technology model. This webinar will focus on translating current business drivers and challenges within the global drug product labeling domain into a set of opportunities and next-generation operating models that support scale, efficiency, quality and compliance.

Viewers will learn:

• What is driving labeling complexity in terms of internal pressures, such as global expansion and evolving global health authority expectations
• What the future looks like with regards to the seamless integration of the end-to-end labeling process (from signal to package) coupled with external services and technology enablers
• How to assess the overall performance and quality of the labeling process
