Quality Metrics Redux: Taking Advantage of FDA’s Renewed Focus
The FDA is trying to learn all it can about quality metrics.
The agency began a year-long voluntary site visit program in August to learn what types of metrics drugmakers collect — and which are the best indicators of quality success or failure. It intends to use quality metrics to support its risk-based inspection planning with mandatory participation.
A scary prospect? Maybe.
A valuable opportunity? Almost definitely.
Mark your calendar for a strategy session with two knowledgeable industry activists, Steven Mendivil of Amgen and Denyse Baker of AstraZeneca. Over the course of fast-paced 90-minutes, they’ll explain the latest developments and what they mean for you. You’ll discover:

- How to take advantage of opportunities to provide input to the FDA before it drafts regulations to implement the program, including contact with appropriate agency personnel
