The FDA announced last week that it is developing a single elecronic web-based system for reporting information about drug safety problems. The FDA hopes to have the new system in place within two years, though no firm timetable has been established. "The system will be easy to use, so that the general public is encouraged to report incidents and is not deterred by the nature of the information requested," said Scott Gottlieb, FDA's deputy commissioner for scientific and medical affairs.
