Workflow essentials

• Triage criteria with severity and escalation logic.
• Documented pathway for serious undesirable effects.
• Trend review cadence linked to action decisions.

Quality mindset

The objective is not just recording events. It is building a reliable evidence trail that supports decisions and scrutiny.
