Adverse event reporting in all its forms
Your national pharmacovigilance system is only as strong as your data. Our digital reporting forms make it easier for patients and health workers to give you the information you need.

After a medicine or vaccine is approved, there is always a risk that new side effects might come to light when they are introduced to the wider population – which is why we need health workers and the public to report any problems they notice. But getting the data you want, how you want it, where you want it, isn’t as simple as it sounds.
Paper forms can be difficult to process for all sorts of reasons. They may be hard to read, incomplete, or include the wrong information. They can also get lost or be misplaced. Digital reporting systems make reporting easier, but they can be costly to develop or maintain. Not all of them work offline either, which can be an issue in places with weak internet.
VigiFlow eForms is a free add-on module to VigiFlow that helps you collect the right data first time and process it faster. Compared to paper forms, our web forms are a more efficient way of getting the information you need from patients and health workers on suspected side effects to medicines and vaccines.

The forms can be made freely available to patients and health workers via an app or website for whatever device or browser they prefer. What’s more, reporters can complete forms with or without internet access before sending them to VigiFlow.
Forms can be customised with your logo and colour scheme, so they are instantly recognisable as coming from you. You can also choose what languages you want forms to be in to increase your reach.
VigiFlow eForms is included free of charge with VigiFlow. Depending on your national safety surveillance system setup, you can configure workflows to automatically route reports to regional or district authorities. With just one click, authorised users can easily share reports with VigiBase, the WHO global database of adverse event reports for medicines and vaccines.
