The Position
Risk Based Quality Management (RBQM) is a proactive risk management approach that directs focus to the areas of greatest operational risk while maintaining quality and compliance and reducing low impact work. RBQM is a system that reduces the errors that matter to the protection of participant safety, the reliability and interpretability of the study data, and the decisions made based on the study results. RBQM helps study teams to design quality and maintain trial oversight through ongoing and continuous surveillance of information, trends and metrics. By building quality and risk management approaches into the scientific design and operational conduct of clinical trials, risks can be mitigated and issues can be detected early on, or prevented entirely.
