Implementing a Quality Management System (QMS)

This NCI SBIR PLAN Webinar Series focuses on: Implementing a Quality Management System (QMS)

 

A QMS is a set of procedures and practices that contribute to product quality.  A QMS is used to ensure consistent production of high-quality product. 

In the next PLAN webinar, prior SBIR/STTR awardees with a variety of cancer technology products such as therapeutics, diagnostics, and devices explain how they tackled various issues related to implementing a Quality Management System.  As a bonus, for this topic we have additional content provided by subject matter experts from the National Institutes of Health’s Small Business Education and Entrepreneurial Development (SEED) office.  

In this PLAN series, prior SBIR/STTR awardees with a variety of cancer technology products such as therapeutics, diagnostics, devices, and digital health explain how they tackled various issues related to implementing a quality management system. Please find advice videos from each panelist below.
