Description
Over the past few years there has been a growing
expectation and increased standardization for Quality Management Systems (QMS)
as it relates to clinical research in the pharma industry. The International Conference on Harmonisation
of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use
(ICH) E6 revision was just one example of a response to the need and demand for
a more robust and documented system to ensure that procedures are established,
and processes are in place to monitor compliance and analyze issues when they
occur.
This program will address the
growing requirements and expectations as it relates to root cause analysis,
corrective and preventative action plans and implementation, aspects of a
robust quality assurance program and how quality control can minimize errors
and other quality issues. This program
will support both the new and seasoned QMS manager or stakeholder to better
understand the requirements, current industry trends for application and give
them sample tools that can be used for quality management.
Learning Level:
Intermediate: Content is designed based upon the assumption that individuals
have basic knowledge of the topic(s) and/or demonstrated
competence related to the topic(s). Higher-level concepts are introduced
