Building a pharmacovigilance community: innovation through collaboration
Meet the Expert
From automation advancements to new regulations, the pharmacovigilance landscape is always evolving. These changes are the focus of Robert Kelle, Senior Director of Safety Strategy, who tackles the future of pharmacovigilance by bringing together industry experts today.
Meet Robert Kelle and learn how he advances drug safety innovation through collaboration.
With more than 26 years of technology industry experience, Kelle uses both online and face-to-face opportunities to build the Oracle safety community. His background as a CIO and technology consultant supports his management of broad thought leadership topics as well as specific product strategy discussions.
Collaboration within the Safety Consortium
Founded in 2019, the Oracle Safety Consortium is the official community for Argus, Empirica, and Safety One and a framework for Oracle to collaborate with both customers and non-customers.
As head of the consortium, Kelle fosters dialogue through online exchanges, such as General Assembly meetings – monthly forums on the latest topics in pharmacovigilance, as well as Oracle’s product strategy and roadmap updates.
For deeper dives into key topics, working groups are led by safety experts, such as product management directors Una Kessi, who runs the Regulatory and Audits Working Group, and Robert Weber, who runs the Signal Detection and Management Working Group.
Advancing pharmacovigilance at Safety Innovation Summits
While virtual forums are convenient ways to stay on the pulse of safety, nothing beats face-to-face collaboration. To meet this need, the consortium hosts biannual Safety Innovation Summits – where leaders in pharmacovigilance come together in-person to drive innovation forward.
At European and North American sites, the summits provide an opportunity for pharmacovigilance professionals to network with peers while learning the latest on safety through panels, presentations, workshops, and more.

Oracle University: How can a Learning Path be updated to indicate that I have completed a course?
Courses (as well as learning paths) are not automatically marked as completed in Oracle University, even if you have successfully completed an enablement course and obtained a certificate.
Below, you will find the steps that we recommend in order to mark a course (and learning path) as completed in Oracle University. This workflow is actually the recommended approach for taking our courses. However, please note that these steps are not mandatory in order to receive your certificate. The benefit of this process is that it allows you to test your knowledge through an online assessment and also receive a badge that you can share on your social networks.
First, access the Life Sciences learning subscription by clicking here. Make sure to sing in using your Oracle SSO.
Next, filter by learning paths by checking the corresponding box:
Then, click on the Learning Path you’re interested in completing.:
Next, click on the course you wish to complete:
On the right-hand side of the screen, you will find a playlist containing the items that make up the course. Typically, this includes a Live Event and a Reference document:
To achieve 100% completion of the course, it is recommended to start by clicking on the Live Event item. In the center of the screen, you will see the text "Please sign up!" which prompts you to sign up for the course. To do so, click on the button "View content":
You will be directed to the schedule of the Life Sciences Learning Subscription. Here, locate the course you wish to enroll in and complete. Then, click on the "Session Details" button:
A new screen will appear. Here you will find a description of the course and other relevant information. To enroll in the course, simply click the "Enroll" button:
After completing the course, it is recommended to access the reference material to label it as completed. To do so, return to the Life Sciences Learning Subscription in Oracle University and access the Learning Path to which this course belongs. You will notice that the course you enrolled in already shows a 50% completion. Please note that this completion percentage is based on assumption and not actual tracking of the Live Session. It is your responsibility to actually complete the session. Click on the course to access its playlist:
You will notice that the item "Live Event" is now highlighted in green.
Next, click on the "Reference" item:
You will see a "View content" button in the center of the screen. Click on it to access the reference material:
A new tab will open, displaying the reference material for this course. At this point, the system assumes that you have studied this material. It is your responsibility to go through it and study it:
If you go back to the course playlist, you will see that the reference item is now highlighted in green:
If you return to the list of courses that make up the learning path, you will notice that the course now shows a completion of 100%:
Our suggestion is to sign up and attend all the courses in the learning path, and also study the reference materials available for each course. After doing so, all the courses in the learning path will be labeled as completed.
Next, you will have the opportunity to test your knowledge by taking an online assessment. To do so, click on the assessment item:
Next, you will see a pop-up message like the one below. Click on "start" to begin the assessment. You will need to answer at least 80% of the questions correctly in order to pass and receive your badge:
There will be a variety of question types, such as multiple choice, true or false, etc:
If you pass the assessment, you will see a screen similar to this:
You will then see a congratulations message and have the option to view your badge or share it on your social networks:

Re: Get access to Clinical One free sessions
Hi Hamid @User_G90P4 ,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues. Our courses are free, but the enrollment process is sometimes confusing. We appreciate you contacting us, and we will be happy to assist you.
First, it's important to note that you have to manually enroll in each course, even if you're trying to enroll in a learning path. This means that to enroll in the RTSM learning path, you'll need to manually enroll in each course of that learning path (RTSM 1, RTSM 2, and RTSM 3).
Here are the steps to enroll:
Step 1: Click on this URL to access the schedule: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/live-event-schedule/Oracle%20University/100051
Step 2: Sign in. If you've recently signed in to another Oracle site with your Oracle SSO, you most likely won't need to sign in again. You'll see an icon with your initials on the upper right corner of the screen like this (if this is your case please skip to Step 5):
Step 3: However, if you see a "generic" icon of a person's silhouette with the text "account" below it, this means you have to sign in. To do that, click on the white arrow and on the pop-up menu, click on the "Sign in my account" option. After this, you'll see the sign-in screen.
Step 4: After signing in, you'll be redirected back to the schedule screen, and you should see the icon change from the generic silhouette icon to an icon with your initials. In case you're not redirected to this page, please navigate to it using the following link: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/live-event-schedule/Oracle%20University/100051
Step 5: Identify the courses you want to enroll in. Remember that we currently don't have an option to enroll in a learning path in a single action, so you'll have to manually enroll in every course.
Step 6: Once you've identified the courses, please repeat the following steps for each course:
Step 6.1: Click on "Session Details"
Step 6.2: In the session details screen, click on the "Enroll" button
Step 6.3: You should see a confirmation message saying that you've been enrolled in the event:
Step 6.4: You'll also receive a confirmation email that looks like this:
Step 6.5: Please repeat this process for each course you want to enroll in.
Step 7: If for any reason you can't attend a course, please unenroll by clicking on the "Unenroll" button. You'll receive an unenrollment confirmation.
And that's it! I hope this helps! If you have any additional issues, please don't hesitate to let us know by posting them in this thread, sending a DM, or reaching out to this email [email protected]
Omar
