Quality Metrics Redux: Taking Advantage of FDA’s Renewed Focus
The FDA is trying to learn all it can about quality metrics.
The agency began a year-long voluntary site visit program in August to learn what types of metrics drugmakers collect — and which are the best indicators of quality success or failure. It intends to use quality metrics to support its risk-based inspection planning with mandatory participation.
