RBQM - Every Piece of the Puzzle Matters!

CONFERENCE PRESENTATION · SCDM 2021 Global Conference
RBQM - Every Piece of the Puzzle Matters!
  • Session Type: Panel Discussion
  • Session Level: Intermediate
Overview
Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) encompasses all functional areas, and provides a truly holistic evaluation of risks to study endpoints, patient safety, and the study at large. Data management’s piece of the puzzle is to ensure critical data are defined and detectable within EDC so they can be utilized for ongoing endpoint risk analysis – and each functional area in turn has their own piece that is critical to view the whole picture.

As we evaluate endpoints and associated risks we are addressing questions such as: Who is responsible for outlining risks to study quality from a data perspective? Who is managing defined risks? What is the role and goal for each functional area with regards to the data? These questions become even more important if there are functional service provider (FSP) situations or multiple CROs involved.

This session is a follow-up to the 2019 SCDM panel ‘Risked Based Quality Management – It takes a Village!, where we discussed general RBQM concepts and how to get started. As the next stage in the RBQM journey, we will hear from industry experts and learn not only how they have identified their piece of the RBQM puzzle, but how they combined with other functional areas to form a collaborative, cross-functional evaluation of study risks and mitigations – as well as what can happen when the RBQM puzzles is missing critical pieces. We look forward to sharing knowledge and experiences with industry peers while furthering the RBQM discussion.

Please join myself, Brian Barnes (Medidata), Crupa Kurien (Pfizer), Micheal Ferree (Aperio) and Rachel Oakley CMED) as we explore and define the components of RBQM, the roles and responsibilities of RBQM and Centralized monitoring analytics, how beginning with Quality by Design at the protocol development stage can set the trial up for quality analysis and lastly hear the panelist discuss how things are changing from the past to the present and into the future.
