What is Risk Management?

In life sciences, Risk Management isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a regulatory expectation. Whether you’re managing a product launch, supplier change, or deviation investigation, every decision needs to factor in risk.

Risk Management is the process of identifying, evaluating, controlling, and monitoring risks that impact product quality, patient safety, or regulatory compliance. With Quality Forward’s eQMS, your risk data is centralized, actionable, and directly connected to your quality processes.
