Healthcare and Life Sciences: Regulatory and Quality Operations
Quality and regulatory operations in life sciences manage deviations, change controls, corrective and preventive actions, document revisions and regulatory submission assembly. Specialists work across the quality management system, a document management platform, regulatory information systems and review correspondence. Time is spent on record initiation, investigation support, approval routing and assembling supporting documents. Pyze makes no safety, clinical or compliance determinations and measures only how the work is performed.

What Pyze Measures
- Elapsed and hands-on time per quality record stage
- Application and screen sequence across quality and document systems
- Waiting time at approval and review steps
- Variation in handling paths across sites and record types
Typical Findings
- Deviation investigations typically involve repeated movement between the quality management system, spreadsheets of prior records and shared documents.
- Approval routing for change controls shows waiting time at a small number of reviewers, with follow-up handled through email and chat.
- Document revisions follow different preparation paths from site to site, including different use of word processing and PDF tools.
What the Opportunity Register Supports
- Supports a ranked register of quality workflow steps suited to integration between the quality and document systems.
- Quantifies the effort in investigation support where assisted evidence gathering could assist specialists.
- Supports standardizing revision and approval paths across sites, with all quality and compliance decisions remaining with qualified staff.
