Title Calls for online register to raise drug reaction reporting Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet News GP Media type Web Country/Territory Australia Date 8/11/24 Description With adverse reactions going under-reported by patients, researchers say a new digital tool could be key to tracking the scale of the problem...
Bond University Professor of General Practice and RACGP Expert Committee – Quality Care Chair Mark Morgan, believes the proposed model would make it easier to report ADRs.
‘It is an informative study about patient and health provider attitudes to digital self-reporting of ADR to the TGA … with some interesting ideas about how to build confidence and trust in the system,’ he told newsGP.
‘My own preference would be for passive automated de-identified monitoring for ADRs in addition to reporting systems. I would like to see primary care data automatically analysed for events occurring after starting medications.
‘On a large enough scale, we would be able to pick up rare and common adverse events without relying on patients or doctors to actively make reports.’
Professor Morgan previously pointed out that less onus should be placed on doctors to report, as every action ‘takes away another action that might be more important’.Producer/Author Morgan Liotta URL https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/calls-for-online-register-to-raise-drug-reaction-r?utm_source=racgpnewsgpnewsletter&utm_campaign=newsgpedm&utm_medium=email Persons Mark Morgan
