Quality assurance (QA)

In Oversight, quality & inspection

Quality assurance is the set of planned, systematic activities that give confidence a trial is being run and its data generated to the required standards. It works on the system: SOPs, training, audits, and CAPA. It is deliberately independent of the people doing the trial work.
