Multi-Turn Conversations and Prompts for GMP-Compliant

Data Characteristics

GMP-compliant pharmacovigilance data originates from quality control records, batch production records, inspection reports, deviation management, change control, customer complaints, adverse event (AE) reports, and periodic safety update reports (PSURs. This data exists in both structured and unstructured formats. Structured data, such as laboratory test results and production parameters, is typically stored in Quality Management Systems (QMS) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. Unstructured data, including investigation reports, meeting minutes, email correspondence, and expert opinions, is primarily text-based and distributed across document management systems or collaboration platforms. Data updates frequently, especially before production batch release, during deviation occurrences, and after receiving adverse event reports. Documents typically contain fields such as batch number, production date, expiry date, product name, active ingredient, production site, deviation description, investigation results, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). Units involved include dosage (mg, g), concentration (%), volume (mL, L), and temperature (℃), and time (hours, days), requiring precision and compliance with regulatory standards.

Constraints on Multi-Turn Conversations and Prompts

The multi-source nature and high update frequency of GMP-compliant pharmacovigilance data require multi-turn conversational systems to efficiently integrate data from different systems and ensure the timeliness of retrieval results. For example, when an engineer asks about an anomaly in a specific batch, the system must simultaneously query production records, quality control reports, and relevant adverse event reports. The mix of structured and unstructured content in documents necessitates prompt design that considers both entity recognition and context understanding. Accurately extracting key information such as batch numbers, deviation types, and CAPA measures is fundamental to effective conversations. Strict compliance requirements, such as data traceability and audit trails, mean that the conversation process cannot be limited to information retrieval. It must also guide users to delve into the compliance basis behind the data, for example, by citing relevant regulatory clauses. Multi-turn conversations require session history memory to maintain contextual coherence in subsequent follow-up questions. For instance, after confirming a deviation, the system should further inquire about its impact on downstream product batches.

Configuration Settings

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`maxContext`	`3000 tokens`	Ensures coverage of critical information in multi-turn conversations, preventing comprehension errors due to context loss.
`temperature`	`0.3`	Reduces the randomness of model-generated content, ensuring accuracy and consistency in responses, in line with compliance requirements.
`systemPrompt`	Detailed description of role and task, emphasizing compliance and data accuracy.	Clearly defines model behavior, focusing it on providing factual, regulatory-compliant pharmacovigilance information.
`recallThreshold`	`0.75`	Increases the relevance of recalled documents, reducing noise interference in compliance judgments.
`json_schema`	Define as needed, including fields such as batch number, deviation type, and CAPA number.	Forces the model to output key information in a structured format, facilitating subsequent system integration and automated processing.
`historyLength`	`5 Turns`	Balances session memory with computational cost, ensuring contextual coherence in typical question chains.

Common Pitfalls

Errors or omissions of critical information like batch numbers or product names in conversations. This results from insufficient entity recognition constraints in prompts or incomplete data cleansing in the knowledge base.
The model provides vague or inaccurate regulatory citations when answering compliance questions. This is due to overly large chunking granularity of regulatory texts in the knowledge base, or insufficient relevance of recalled regulatory clauses to the question.
The conversation fails to effectively track historical context, requiring users to repeatedly provide information. This occurs when maxContext is set too low, or the multi-turn conversation logic does not correctly pass session history.

Validation Steps

For typical compliance queries (e.g., "query deviation report for batch XXX"), verify that the batch number, deviation description, and CAPA measures returned by the system match the original records.
Simulate follow-up scenarios (e.g., "What is the impact of this deviation on subsequent production?") to confirm the system can provide coherent and accurate answers based on the context of the previous turn.
Cross-reference regulatory clauses or internal SOP documents cited by the system in its responses. Confirm their accuracy and relevance, and ensure traceability to the original source in the knowledge base.
Check the system's JSON formatted output. Verify that field names, data types, and content comply with the predefined json_schema.
