Risk Management Within a Comprehensive eQMS

The SimplerQMS Risk Management module allows Life Science companies to control and manage risk management documentation. The system promotes document traceability and consistency in risk assessment procedures across all quality processes.

By linking related documents like SOPs, training records, and risk assessments, you can gain a clear picture of how risks are identified, mitigated, and controlled.

The risk management module is part of an all-in-one eQMS solution designed for the needs of the Life Science industry. SimplerQMS software encompasses all QMS modules, including document control, change control, training, supplier management, audit management, CAPA management, and more.

Risk Traceability Matrix in SimplerQMS

Manage Risk With Traceability Matrix

SimplerQMS provides a traceability matrix document template to help control risk assessments and mitigation processes throughout the lifecycle of a product or process.

Utilize relations and hyperlinks within the traceability matrix to connect several elements in the system, such as risk assessments, risk mitigation strategies, nonconformances and deviations, CAPAs, and more.

Link specific versions of a document or the latest version of a document in the traceability matrix to create a record of all risk-related actions.

Present Risk Documents During Audits

Facilitate the retrieval and presentation of risk management documentation during audits and inspections by relating risk documents to regulatory requirements, such as standard chapters.

Link risk management documents to relevant regulatory requirements in just a few clicks when drafting the risk document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Risk management in the Life Science industry involves systematically identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks. The potential risks are associated with various aspects of research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other healthcare products and processes.

Risk management ensures product safety, efficacy, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Risk management aims to proactively address risks, employing strategies and controls to minimize adverse impacts on product quality, patient safety, and overall business operations.

Risk Management is a requirement for Life Science companies. Risk management is specified in standards, regulations, and guidelines, such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016, MDR and IVDR, and ICH Q9 and Q10, among others.

QMS software with integrated risk management capabilities offers several benefits:

  • Improved Product Safety and Efficacy: Potential risks across the product development lifecycle are identified and mitigated, ensuring that pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare products maintain high and uniform standards of safety and efficacy.
  • Compliance with Regulatory Requirements: The proactive nature of risk management supports aligning quality processes with stringent regulatory requirements. By identifying and addressing potential risks early on, companies can achieve compliance, avoid regulatory penalties, and adhere to quality and safety measures.
  • Risk Mitigation for Business Operations: Effective risk management offers a proactive approach to addressing risks that could impact broader business operations. Risk mitigation strategies and controls help companies minimize disruptions, ensuring the continuity and stability of operations in the face of potential challenges.

SimplerQMS risk management module is part of an all-in-one eQMS platform, which includes all QMS modules, system implementation, user training, ongoing support, validation, cloud hosting, and more.
