PDA 530.1 Quality Risk Management: Risk Control and Risk-Based Decision-Making

Washington, DC
Ask a Question

To control risk, decisions must be made as part of the Quality Risk Management (QRM) process. Risk-based decision-making tends to be more dynamic and less structured than the other steps of the QRM process. A decision-maker’s role in the QRM process is critical for timely, effective and ongoing management of risks.

This training course will provide you with the ability to interpret the appropriateness and adequacy of risk control mechanisms. You will also explore the overall concepts of risk-based decision-making including risk tolerance, its impact on the success of risk management, and how to manage diversity in risk tolerance across your organization. This training course will strengthen learners’ competencies to identify and assess the results of a QRM exercise in order to enable robust risk-based decisions and enable success of QRM activities.
