Quality Assurance and Compliance

Quality Policy

ClinPhone is committed to continually improving business performance and delivering the highest quality products to our customers. We strive to achieve the highest standards of quality, compliance and integrity throughout our business and in the software and services we deliver.

At ClinPhone, we instill the value of our high standards in every employee and all members of our team understand and believe in our commitment. We have developed a Quality Management System to ensure a consistently high level of quality, which meets or exceeds all relevant regulations and standards. Regular monitoring of our System ensures that all members of our staff continue to work in a manner which conforms to our quality and compliance standards.

Quality Assurance Department

ClinPhone’s Quality Assurance (QA) department is independent of all operational processes and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Members of the QA team have extensive experience supporting the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, as well as working with regulatory agencies. The QA team is directly responsible for all aspects of quality and compliance within the Company, including coordinating client audits, performing internal and system audits, reviewing all required regulatory documentation (Standard Operating Procedures, validation and software development), overall management of the corrective/preventive action process, and delivering training to all staff in quality and regulatory-related activities.

Quality and compliance is assured through the review and approval of all critical processes at ClinPhone. Quality control is built into ClinPhone's working practices through in-process checks and verification of client projects. ClinPhone successfully controls internal processes across its broad customer base, while taking into account the variability of client-specific requirements.
