Research summary
At the moment reporting of adverse drug reactions by hospital personnel is mainly done by paper or through the web-based form. The aim of creating a new reporting tool, the app, is to increase reporting and to make reporting easy with the hope of gathering new information about ADRs which will help to evaluate the benefit-harm of drugs. The first version of the Yellow Card mobile app was launched recently in July 2015. However, it is important to make sure that the reports received through the app capture the clinical data accurately.
This study will be aimed at investigating the accuracy and trustworthiness of reports received through the app. The live App data covers the whole of the UK. And depending on workload the study team will investigate all reports for which the reporter agrees to supply extra information from patient case notes.REC name
