Leveraging Third-Party Audits in the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology & Medical Device Industries

By Daniel Fishman, 
Senior Quality Assurance Consultant
 
Those of us in the competitive and highly regulated pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries understand the need to balance operational efficiency with regulatory compliance.  We must find ways to reduce complexities, eliminate redundancies and streamline operations while staying compliant with an array of regulations, guidance documents and regulatory expectations (some explicit, others less so).

"How do I keep my Quality System current?" 
 
Changing compliance regulations and a growing business can create a challenging situation for an organization's Quality Assurance team.  What is the right approach to maintaining compliance in this environment? A systematic approach is often called for to manage this type of systemic change.
 
First, run through an internal QMS checklist to identify gaps and target areas for improvement. Next, assess your risk tolerance and prioritize your findings. From there, your team can make decisions about what actions must be taken. At that point, you may consider bringing in an experienced consultant to provide an outside perspective to help implement the changes.
