Overview of the webinar
Many medical device companies are surprised when they have quality and compliance issues. To prevent quality and compliance issues, a company needs to have an efficient and effective Quality Management System (QMS) including good metrics and dashboards. Metrics and dashboards can help to proactively and consistently measure and improve the health of the Quality Management System. A balanced scorecard can help companies identify the top areas for improvement. Well-developed metrics and scorecards can bring risks and improvement opportunities into focus. Thought should be given into both lagging and leading indicators for quality and compliance. Metrics and data are a key part of Management Review. Management needs to know how the quality system is performing, where the risks are, and where to invest precious dollars for improvement. This course can help you determine what to measure, how to present information and how to escalate issues for management review.

Why should you attend?
Bad data means bad decisions! Medical device companies face ever-increasing scrutiny from the FDA and other regulators. Customers demand quality and safety. The business requires an efficient and effective use of resources. Without proactive and timely metrics, a company is blind to the health of its quality system and meeting the needs of its stakeholders. This can lead to disaster for the company or, even worse, its customers. Challenges that companies face include:
- Lack of data
- Data that is not timely
- Data that is incorrect or difficult to analyze
- Metrics that are lagging and not leading indicators
- Metrics that are not balanced leading to improper use of resources and unintended consequence
