Background

For organisations subject to stringent biopharmaceutical and medical device regulations, quality has been evolving over the past years from a compliance-centric approach to increasingly include product-quality and innovation-centric philosophies thus becoming more and more patient centric. The following three stages of quality approaches can be observed in this development:

Compliance with specifications and regulations has always been a must to minimise compliance risk and maintain the licence to operate, reducing cost of (poor) quality (compliance centric).
In addition, focusing on the robustness of clinical trials, supply and manufacturing processes and data ensures the availability, affordability and reliability of products at the time of need, reducing inventory and improving profit margins (product-quality centric).
Targeting on top to improve disease management, quality of life and the product and treatment portfolio allows organisations to bring innovative products and services to market faster, improving revenue and the brand and risk profile (innovation centric).

We at PwC are passionate to support biopharmaceutical and medtech organisations to move towards a more patient-centric quality approach, providing patients with a reliable supply of products, access to more innovative products, and improved compliance and product quality.
