Complaint records may be created from emails, forms, customer service notes, field reports, distributor notifications or other approved source documents. Reviewing the source helps confirm that defined case fields reflect the information that was actually received.

Missing Information

Route Missing Source Information Into Follow-Up

If the source document does not contain information required by the client’s complaint workflow, the gap can connect to complaint follow-up support or follow-up letter support where appropriate.

Data Discrepancies

Route Source-to-Record Differences Into Reconciliation

Where a complaint record differs from approved source information, the issue can move through complaint reconciliation for structured comparison and exception handling.

Document Traceability

Maintain a Clear Connection Between the Source and the Complaint Record

Source review becomes more useful when supporting records can be traced back to the complaint case. Our complaint record indexing service can help classify, index and link approved source documents within client-controlled repositories and complaint systems.

Defined Responsibilities

Source Review Support Within Client-Defined Complaint Procedures

Our role focuses on administrative source review, field comparison, missing-information identification, discrepancy documentation and record preparation. We do not make clinical interpretations, technical investigation conclusions, reportability determinations, regulatory decisions or final complaint disposition decisions. Those responsibilities remain with the client’s authorized personnel.
