Complaints Management Software Overview

Organizations must restructure their complaint handling, management, settlement, and reporting processes due to increasing regulatory challenges, product liability concerns, and the cost of compliance. Regulatory reporting and effective customer complaint management are crucial elements of the regulated industry. With Qualityze Complaints Management software (QCM), you can manage and implement the entire Complaint lifecycle effectively, in addition to your existing Complaints procedure. With Qualityze Complaints Management, you can effectively and efficiently:

Accelerate Complaints Process Cycle
Manage Complaint Documentation
Perform PHR Review & Product Evaluation
Perform Root Cause Investigation

Manage Global Regulatory Reporting & Submissions

Documentation

Customer Complaints and regulatory reporting are an inevitable part of the regulated industry. When it occurs, you should be able to document the problem quickly and clearly that can be assessed for regulatory reporting.

With the Qualityze customer complaints management software system, this can be achieved by completing the Initiation steps. Within the Initiation step, you can capture critical information such as:

Occurrence Date
Aware Date
Hospital Information
Patient Information
Complaints Description and Complaints Code

Complaint Owner and Others
Product Information
Reported Date
Reported By
Location

Besides this information, you have an option to create additional custom fields to capture data that your business needs. Once the record is saved, a unique number will be assigned by the system for you to keep track of the Customer Complaints.

PHR Review and Product Evaluation

Once you have documented all the complaint details, you can review the Device or Product History records for Nonconformance, CAPAs, Inspections, etc. along with the relevant information and outcomes for the potential root cause. It can provide complaint handlers valuable insight to perform a thorough evaluation and investigation.

Additionally, you can perform Product Evaluation with an inhouse sample or returned device from the customer to better understand the complaints and summarize in the evaluation report.

Reviewing and evaluating history records will help you decide whether the investigation is required.

Root Cause Investigation

The root cause investigation of Complaints plays a significant role in the functioning of the Complaints system. The extent of the investigation depends on several criteria such as criticality, risks to the patient or end-user, risks to the company, the scope of the defect, etc.

In Qualityze, you use the combination of different tasks to document the investigation result or outcome. You can perform two types of investigation to identify the cause: Customer Investigation and Product Investigation. The flexibility of the system allows you to document multiple root causes. Additionally, you can also record the results of the investigation.

Customer Investigation is related to the information that you want to collect for understanding the root cause. Product Investigation is performed internally to check for any existing nonconformance during the manufacturing process that may have contributed to the Complaints.

Triggering Internal or External Corrective and Preventive Action (CAPA)

Qualityze Complaints Management System is a robust solution that ensures the action plans are developed based on accurate, appropriate, and timely investigation reports.

Based on the root causes identified, you can develop and implement the action plans such as Risk-Based, Correction, Corrective, and Preventive to resolve the customer complaint effectively.

Right action plans can help improve product quality, making it safer and better for the intended use.

Global Regulatory Reporting and Submission

Some of the Complaints need to be reported to the regulatory agency of the country where the incident occurred. There is always a specific timeframe that needs to be followed to complete the regulatory reporting and submission. The determination of a reportable event and a timeline is based on the outcome of a decision tree.

With Qualityze issue tracking and customer Complaints management software, you can create your decision tree based on the region for the Complaints management. For a reportable event/incident, the system auto-generates a task with a timeframe auto-calculated by the system. Using the pre-configured forms provided by FDA (MedWatch FDA MDR 3500), European Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) (MEDDEV 2.12-1), Health Canada (MDPR), Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), etc., you can quickly and promptly generate the submission report.

Managing Customer Response

Customer Response is an activity that an organization uses to respond to a customer who has filed a formal Complaint about the products or services. A timely response to the customer is very critical to show an organization’s commitment to resolving the issue.

In Qualityze, you can generate a customer letter using a predefined response template. You also have an option to update or change the model based on your organization’s requirements. Having a template provides a format, structure, and style that can be used to write a formal response to Customer Complaints.

Before closure, you can perform a final review with the Closure summary and provide the appropriate responses to the customer.
