Operational Mission
Review primary intake documentation across spontaneous calls, hospital emails, and clinical trial SAE forms. Confirm the 4 essential pillars: identifiable patient, identifiable reporter, suspect medicinal product, and adverse event. Record Day-0 timestamp immediately to lock regulatory clock.
