AI Agent Decisions · The Power of Agentic AI Policy

Clinical Research & Drug Safety

What an agent could do

Identify possible adverse-event reports and route them for timely human review.

The decision underneath

What may it classify or escalate, and who decides whether a report is complete?

From idea to use case

01

Where most ideas start

"Use AI to make drug safety reporting faster."

✕ Too vague

Make it specific

02

A workable use case

We want an agent to identify possible adverse-event reports in study-site messages and incoming safety inquiries, flag missing case details, and route time-sensitive cases to a qualified safety reviewer in time for required assessments and reporting.

Measure it

03

How you'll know it works

If the agent really helps, these numbers should change. Measure them before it goes live, then again after:

Time to first safety review; Cases missing key information; Overdue safety reports

Then decide

04

The decision to make first

May it assign a preliminary case category or request missing information without prior human approval? Who determines reportability and completeness before a case is submitted or closed?

Settle this before the agent goes live, not after.

Your turn

05

Now make it yours

Pick a business problem in your organization that is expensive, slow, risky or frustrating. Then work through these four questions, as in the workshop:

1

What business problem are we solving?

2

Who would sponsor this, and why?

3

What measurable business result should change?

4

What would make this difficult to scale here?

?

Quick test: task or decision?

Is this only a task you want AI to perform, or a business decision you want an agent to help make or execute?
