The Importance of Transparency & Trust in the Pharmaceudical Industry
The Indian Pharma industry is one of the world's largest, with a vast number of companies and a significant share of the global market. However, in recent years, it has faced severe quality issues, leading to regulatory action and loss of reputation.
These quality problems have raised questions about the reliability and safety of the medicines produced by Indian Pharma companies. In this white paper, we explore how data governance and data immutability can help restore trust in the Indian Pharma industry.
The Challenge Brewing with India Pharma
Many Indian Pharma companies have been hit with regulatory action from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to quality concerns. Also, the Indian government has raised concerns about quality and shut down several Pharma companies in late March 2023.
For example, many Pharma companies were found to be less transparent about their data gathering and recording processes. Such incidents have created a negative perception of the Indian Pharma industry, leading to a decline in the industry's reputation and causing significant financial losses for the companies involved.
Solution Overview
Data Governance and Data Transparency: Data governance is the process of managing the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data used by an organization. By implementing strong data governance practices, Pharma companies can ensure the accuracy and reliability of their data, which is crucial for producing high-quality medicines.
Data immutability, on the other hand, refers to the practice of creating tamperproof records of data that cannot be altered. This technique ensures that data is secure and cannot be manipulated or destroyed, providing an extra layer of protection against data tampering.
By using data governance and data immutability, pharma companies can:
* Ensure data accuracy: Data governance practices help companies maintain data accuracy by ensuring data is complete, consistent, and reliable.
* Facilitate transparency: Data immutability ensures transparency by creating a permanent data record that cannot be changed. This makes it easier for regulators and other stakeholders to audit the data and ensure its accuracy.
* Improve quality control: By implementing data governance practices, companies can improve their quality control by ensuring that data is appropriately collected, documented, and analyzed. This helps companies identify potential issues early on and take corrective action before they become significant problems.
* Enhance compliance: Data governance practices can help companies comply with regulatory requirements by ensuring that data is accurate complete, and up-to-date. This helps companies avoid regulatory action and maintain their reputation.
This white paper presents a solution that can help pharma companies achieve data integrity, trust, and safety. The solution comprises data immutability, data contracts, and unified audit trails to track all data changes and access.
The Solution - Data Immutability
Data immutability is the key to ensuring data integrity. In simple terms, data immutability means that once a piece of data is written to a storage medium, it cannot be changed or deleted. Our solution leverages blockchain technology to ensure data immutability. All drug development, manufacturing, and distribution data are stored on a private blockchain, which is only accessible to authorized personnel. Once the data is stored on the blockchain, it cannot be tampered with, ensuring data integrity.
The Solution - Data Contracts
Data contracts are agreements between different parties on the format and structure of the data. Our solution uses data contracts to ensure data trust. All stakeholders, including drug manufacturers, regulatory authorities, and distributors, agree on the format and structure of the data to ensure interoperability and data consistency.
Data contracts can be customized based on the specific requirements of each stakeholder, ensuring that the data is trustworthy and accurate.
The Solution - Unified Audit Trails
Unified audit trails are used to track all data changes and access. Our solution uses a unified audit trail to ensure data security. All data-related activities, including data creation, modification, and deletion, are tracked on the unified audit trail.
This ensures that any unauthorized access or tampering of data is immediately detected and can be dealt with promptly. The unified audit trail provides complete transparency and accountability for all data-related activities, ensuring data safety.
Conclusion
The pharma industry faces increasing pressure to ensure data integrity, trust, and safety. Our solution, comprising data immutability, data contracts, and unified audit trails, can help pharma companies achieve these objectives.
The solution not only ensures data integrity but also ensures data trust and data security. Using blockchain technology and data contracts ensures data trust, while the unified audit trail ensures data security. By implementing our solution, pharma companies can restore trust in their products and protect their reputation while ensuring the safety and efficacy of their drugs
