@US_FDA
- FDA will soon begin a multi-year modernization effort to further transform our data platforms and cross-program infrastructure to better support innovation related to our regulatory oversight role. https://fda.gov/media/148197/download
- This modernization effort will include a review of approaches to regulatory oversight using next-gen assessment technologies and improvements as well as a review of available authorities for any potential legislative proposals.
- FDA will also continue to work to enhance our coordinated approach to inspections, information sharing, and other processes to accelerate evaluation and potentially integrate new oversight methods and tools.
- This will allow consistent use of tools and technologies and provide additional flexibility to enhance data-driven, risk-based oversight modeling across the agency and the nation’s public health system.
