Japanese Maintenance Organization
A JMO has been established to support MedDRA for organisations based in Japan. JMO works in partnership with the MSSO to provide Japanese user input into MedDRA and to ensure the content and quality of the Japanese version of MedDRA matches the English version.
The JMO performs the following functions:
- Participates in the international change request review process of the MSSO
- Translates MedDRA terms and user documentation into Japanese
- Provides MedDRA training (e.g., Introduction to MedDRA, Explanatory meeting on the new version) to JMO subscribers
- Distributes MedDRA to JMO subscribers
- Provides User Group meetings and Help Desk support to JMO subscribers
- Maintains a JMO web site that serves as the single point source for MedDRA information in Japan
- Provides Japanese software tools (desktop and web-based) to browse and search MedDRA
- Participates in international MedDRA Working Groups along with the MSSO (e.g., ICH M1 Points to Consider Working Group, CIOMS Working Group on SMQs)
