Regulatory Agency Audits/Inspections must add value
But so often they are viewed as a 'necessary evil' for those involved in the healthcare industry. We all suffer from blind-spots in our work and daily lives. The puzzle before us is so close and so demanding and our full focus is rightly on its resolution. Then in the euphoria of our victory over the puzzle, we completely miss an unrelated, but key aspect. We submit our work to Regulatory Audit/Inspection. A Regulatory Agency Audit (and following 'Approval') which adds value is that which, whilst reviewing the way we have solved the particular puzzle, nevertheless is knowledgeable and broad enough to point out that key aspect which we have missed. That key aspect which, if not addressed, could lead to unwanted events. Be positive about Regulatory Agency Audits
Such audits/inspections add value. They must be encouraged.
