Risk management (QRM)

Risk management is fundamentally about protecting patients from the risk of harming their health by consuming products manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry.

Quality Risk Management (QRM) is an essential part of a GxP company's overall Quality Management System and includes a systematic process used to identify, assess and take control of the risk that exists during the entire lifecycle of a product.

Both the US and European GxP guidelines (FDA's Guidance to Industry Q9 Quality Risk Management and the European ICH-Q9, respectively) include risk management and both are included in the course.
