One country’s evidence, from upload to a signed evaluation
At 08:12 on Oct 7, the Poland affiliate uploads its Q3 evidence for the Talmirex educational programme — 24 days before the PSUR data lock. Here is what happens next, screen by screen, in the working solution.
- 01Morning
Every country commitment, on one map
Priya Raman · Global risk management leadPriya opens the solution: 3 programmes, 23 country commitments, PSUR data lock Oct 31 in 24 days. 9 of 14 countries are on track, prescriber reach is 94.6% and patient card coverage 90.7%. Poland is marked as a gap, with new evidence today.
“Superseded patient card v2.0 sent to 38 prescribers.”
- 0208:12
Three new files from the affiliate
Marek Wójcik · Affiliate safety officer, PolandMarek uploads the Q3 distribution log, the courier receipts and a text comparison of patient card v2.0 against v3.0 through the affiliate portal. They sit beside the letter of agreement with the national authority, the target prescriber list and the pharmacy panel extract, ready to be checked.
“3 new files arrived today at 08:12 from the Poland affiliate.”
- 03Run checks
Four agents check the country
The agentsEvidence intake classifies the three files and attaches them to Poland. The distribution reconciler matches 812 dispatches to the 860 prescribers on the target list and checks item codes against version 3.0. The commitment tracker checks 4 clocks against the Jul 14 agreement, and the survey and utilisation analyst reads card coverage of 87.0% from the pharmacy panel.

Three findings, each with its source
Distribution reconciler6 of 8 checks pass. The high finding: the national authority agreed patient alert card v3.0 on Jul 14, but the Jul 22 and Aug 5 waves list item code TX-PAC-PL-02 — version 2.0 — for 24 and 14 prescribers, and v2.0 lacks the heart-event and shingles wording. The medium finding: the Sep 18 new-prescriber wave to 52 physicians went out with a congress invitation.
Every finding cites the log line and the agreement clause it rests on.
- 05Decided
She decides each finding
Priya Raman · Global risk management leadFor each finding Priya chooses Ask the affiliate, Accept with a note, or Not an issue. Both distribution findings go to the affiliate. Card coverage at 87.0% is down from 91.2% in Q2 but still above the 85% threshold, so she accepts it with a note on the audit trail.
Agents propose findings; only the risk management lead decides them.
- 06Drafted
One request to the affiliate
Affiliate request writerThe request writer turns her decisions into one letter to Marek: send card v3.0 to the 38 prescribers with a cover letter asking them to replace v2.0 stock, and resend the guide and card to the 52 new prescribers as a stand-alone educational mailing — both by Nov 6. It is sent only when Priya presses Send.
“The checks will run again as soon as they arrive.”

Is it working? Knowledge, behaviour, outcomes
Survey & utilisation analyst612 prescribers in 8 countries answered the wave 2 survey (22.0% response). Three of five key messages meet the 80% threshold; the heart-event message is weakest at 74.1%, lowest in Poland at 68%. Drug utilisation data across 9,812 new users agree: 11.8% of patients aged 65 or over with heart risk factors started without a documented reason, against a 10% target.
Each key message is reported separately, with n and a 95% confidence interval.

The effectiveness evaluation, drafted and cited
Assessment writerFrom the risk management plan v5.0, both survey tables, the drug utilisation study, the outcome analysis and the 14 country records, the agents draft six sections — programme and objectives, reach, knowledge, prescribing behaviour, safety outcomes, conclusion and actions — with 19 citations. 7 of 11 success criteria are met.
- 09Lead review
The verdict is hers to choose
Priya Raman · Global risk management leadThe draft suggests Partly effective and proposes actions: a targeted reminder on the heart-event message, a version 3.1 of the guide and card for agreement with the national authorities, and the country actions. Priya chooses the verdict — Effective, Partly effective or Not effective — and sends it to the QPPV.
“Reach, card coverage and outcomes meet their criteria; prescriber knowledge of the heart-event message, patient knowledge of contraception and prescribing in older patients do not.”
- 10Signed
The QPPV signs, and it is filed
Dr. Maya Chen · EU QPPVDr. Chen reviews the signer, the verdict and the criteria — 7 of 11 met — enters her password and signs. The meaning is recorded with the signature, the PSUR section and RMP v5.1 Part V are updated, and the country actions go to 4 affiliates.
“I approve this effectiveness evaluation for inclusion in the PSUR and the risk management plan update.”
