Monitoring/Follow Up (as related to the activities below)
- Reviewing MUIs & UIRs (individual reports for trends or patterns)
- Integrating prevention plans
- Reviewing UIRs (individual reports, for patterns or tends) – only when they are an ongoing member of the team and they are not the MUI investigator
