Manage ICSR operations with confidence

Cencora provides end-to-end individual case safety report (ICSR) management across intake, triage, data entry, quality review, medical review, reporting, and archiving. Our teams support global and local case processing with structured workflows and operational governance.

You gain scalable support for post-marketing, clinical trial, literature, solicited, and non-interventional study cases, with technology-enabled processes designed to improve consistency, throughput, and compliance.

Address ICSR workload pressures early

ICSR operations must keep pace with rising case volumes, varied intake sources, and strict reporting timelines. Cencora helps you reduce delivery risk with structured workflows, oversight, and trained safety teams.
Volume variability
Manage changing case volumes with scalable teams, phased ramp-up, and governance designed to maintain throughput, quality, and on-time submissions.
Manual process risk
Reduce errors, rework, and visibility gaps by replacing spreadsheet-dependent activities with structured, system-driven case processing workflows.
Reporting complexity
Handle global and local reporting requirements, partner exchanges, and reconciliations with coordinated tracking and compliance-focused oversight.

Comprehensive ICSR management support

You receive end-to-end ICSR management support across adverse drug reaction collection, triage, book-in, data entry, quality review, medical review, reporting, and archiving.

Cencora also supports contact center interfaces, medical information handoffs, product quality complaint intake, reconciliation activities, and workflow monitoring to help keep safety operations complete and compliant. 

What we offer

Case intake and exchange

Collection, triage, and book-in from every applicable source, including partner and vendor case exchange, for complete, timely case capture.

Case processing and follow-up

Data entry, coding, narrative writing, and follow-up activities for post-marketing, clinical, literature, solicited, and special situation reports.

Medical review

Clinical assessment, causality evaluation, and company comment support from qualified medical professionals aligned to defined procedures.

Quality and governance

Independent review, completeness checks, error trending, and KPI reporting under defined governance to improve accuracy and reduce rework.

Submission and reconciliation

Reportability checks, submission tracking, negative acknowledgement resolution, and reconciliation with partners and safety databases to keep reporting on schedule.

Flexible engagement models

Full outsourcing, functional service provider (FSP), hybrid or co-sourcing, and project or surge support for global, regional, and local case processing.

Why choose Cencora for ICSR management

Built-in regulatory compliance

Global and local reporting rules are applied at every step, so cases reach authorities and partners complete and on time.

Inspection-ready case quality

Independent checks, error trending, and documented governance give inspectors a clear audit trail for every case you report.

Technology-enabled, scalable delivery

Validated workflow tools and automations that help global teams scale with case volumes, keeping throughput and timelines steady through ramp-ups and surges.

Expert insight

For busy safety teams, minimizing the manual tracking component of managing local PV activities can significantly improve data quality and consistency which, in turn, enhances overall audit-readiness and compliance.
