System and methods for management of risk data and analytics

Abstract: Managing and analyzing occurrences of certain types of adverse events associated with a distribution of a prescription drug into the commercial marketplace, such as a drug having an associated abuse liability potential. Data concerning an occurrence of an adverse event associated with such distribution is received and selectively logged as an event if the data satisfies one or more predetermined criteria which can be used to filter the received data. If the received data are logged as an event, a score is computed and assigned to the event. If the score meets or exceeds a pre-established threshold, a field researcher is assigned to investigate the logged event. Further data from the field researcher are stored in association with the logged event. Automated review of further data from field researchers can be performed to update the status of a logged event to closed.
