PDA Pacific Northwest Chapter: Quality Risk Management Seminar & Cornhole Tournament

Building a Proactive and Effective Quality Risk Management Program

Join us for a 4-hour Quality Risk Management (QRM) seminar designed to provide pharmaceutical professionals with the knowledge and tools to build, implement, and optimize a proactive QRM program. Effective QRM is essential for ensuring product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance. This seminar will break down the key elements of a robust QRM program, emphasizing its practical application in risk-based decision-making.

We will explore the foundational principles of QRM, focusing on how organizations can move beyond reactive risk assessments to a strategic, proactive approach. A critical component of this strategy is the QRM Master Plan (QRMP)—a structured, risk-based roadmap that aligns with regulatory expectations while driving efficiency and consistency across risk management activities.

Participants will gain insights into:
✔ What a strong QRM program looks like—key components, industry best practices, and integration into the pharmaceutical quality system.
✔ How QRM should be effectively utilized—linking risk assessments to process control, deviation management, change control, and continuous improvement.
✔ The role of a QRM Master Plan (QRMP)—how it standardizes risk-based decision-making and serves as a centralized guide for risk management activities.
✔ Applying proactive QRM techniques—leveraging the QRMP to anticipate and mitigate risks before they impact product quality or compliance.

By the end of this seminar, attendees will have a clear roadmap for strengthening their QRM programs, improving regulatory alignment, and fostering a risk-based culture within their organizations. Whether you are establishing a new QRM framework or refining an existing one, this seminar will equip you with actionable insights to enhance compliance, efficiency, and product quality.
