The session will review the impact of recent guidance from FDA and EMA on the practical steps that should be taken when developing an understanding of contextual product risks, defining risk management objectives and then designing, testing and implementing risk management tools. The emphasis of the session will be on practical approaches to align user-tested RM tools to their measures of effectiveness. The session will explore the options and approaches that are available to obtain effectiveness data from traditional cross sectional surveys to real-time, real-world data capture.

  • Define the steps that should be taken to assess product risks in the context of their use within the healthcare system
  • Employ a logical approach and framework to define risk management objectives, tools and their measurement
