Navitas Launches Labeling Assessment Express™ to Improve End-to-End Labeling Process and Business Performance

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Navitas introduces Labeling Assessment Express to provide a more efficient and accurate End-to-End labeling system.

Why focus on End-to-End Labeling?

Regulators are changing the way they look at labeling. The emphasis is on ensuring Marketing Authorization Holders have a linked up End-to-End (E2E) process that delivers accurate, quality labeling information to the patient in a timely manner. This represents a paradigm shift from Drug Safety to Patient Safety, transforming labeling from a compliance focused activity to become one of the key mechanisms of getting timely benefit-risk information to patients and prescribers in a user friendly way.

Labeling is one of the most common areas for critical inspection findings. An effective E2E labeling process is essentially to safe guarding patient safety, ensuring regulatory compliance and protecting the company's reputation through the avoidance of fines and unwanted media attention.

What is Labeling Assessment Express?

Labeling Assessment Express is a highly cost-effective diagnostic tool, which provides a rapid read-out of the health of an E2E labeling system, without a long drawn-out project and with minimum disruption to the business.

The multi-dimensional read-out provides valuable insights on key E2E health indicators:

• Process completeness and robustness
• Governance
• Organizational structure
• Capabilities and capacity
• Data management
• Technologies
• Inspection readiness

Our insights are driven through our extensive labeling experience and from Navitas' labelnet®, a network of labeling professionals focused on best practices development for E2E labeling.

The output from Labeling Assessment Express is a report that includes:

• A prioritized list of current gaps
• A compliance Heatmap
• Opportunities for improvement, including quick-wins and longer term initiatives
• A shared, cross-functional vision for the future and roadmap for improvement
