Quality Risk Management
Quality Risk Management for Regulatory Compliance
Quality Risk Management (QRM) is an innovative approach whereby an organization proactively and purposefully detects, identifies, and then resolves risks before they become real problems. Traditional auditing techniques using a systems approach are then projected toward implementing improved standards. ClinAudits collaborates closely with clinical research, medical affairs and safety personnel. Working with business partners and regulators, we have created an environment that promotes risk awareness and elevates risk mitigation. Our focus remains on customer needs aimed to improve overall compliance. This targeted approach ensures confidence of data leading to safe and efficient delivery of medicines to patients.
