Designing and Maintaining a Robust Regulatory Intelligence Program
Friday, June 7, 2024
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM EDT
Location: Concourse B
Proposal Description: The pace of innovation and change in medical device development is increasing as are changes in regulatory frameworks and standards, internationally. Maintaining awareness of these regulatory changes and providing strategic input into product development teams and the quality system are critical deliverables of modern regulatory intelligence (RI) programs. Yet little information is available on how to set up the processes & tools for a new RI program. Multiple tools exist to monitor the regulations and standards, and the trade associations share meaningful information, but it still requires regulatory professionals to manually consolidate the data and filter out the noise to transform raw information into actionable insights. So how do you balance this with a fear of missing out on critical information while alleviating the weight from day-to-day activities? How do you get support from your leadership team?
This interactive and dynamic session will discuss strategic approaches to setting up RI Programs.
Learning Objectives:
Understand best practices on developing and defining a regulatory intelligence (RI) program for their organization
Delineate & define the scope of the role of an RI team / RI officer
Define the skills required to build an effective RI team
Understand how technology plus people can work together to effectively manage regulatory intelligence
Execute changes to more effectively manage regulatory changes (from detection to effective implementation to be audit ready)
