Monitor Assessment Program (MAP)™ Audit Services

In recent warning letters the FDA cited pharmaceutical companies for several major violations related to monitoring deficiencies.

Fact: The number of FDA inspections is increasing each year.

Inspections have increased 21.8% over the past 5 years. Sponsor related inspections have increased by 81.8% in the same period!

Fact: Most sponsor violations cite monitoring deficiencies.

The language used in these warning letters strongly point out the ‘failure’ of the sponsor in their responsibilities and accountabilities.


Are you confident that the monitoring performed by your team will meet the expectations of Regulatory Authorities?

Infusion Clinic Evaluation (ICE)™ Services

Community-based centers are becoming an increasingly prevalent resource for patients receiving medications to treat a variety of diseases. These facilities, which offer an alternative to visiting a hospital, are generally professionally-run, convenient, comfortable, clean and safe.

Currently the health authorities have limited oversight on the setup and management of these centers. Our inspection of hundreds of such facilities revealed a multitude of GCP infractions. Inadequate Adverse Event reporting through Patient Support Programs is one of the more serious issues, and the current focus of the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA).

The ICE™ Program is a detailed formal evaluation that meets the needs of clients who specialize in systemic treatment products administered in an ambulatory healthcare facility.

We ensure that service support program's align with practice/health system organization standards and regulatory guidelines by focusing on 10 Core Patient Safety and Quality Elements designed to monitor and evaluate the quality and safety of patient care.

We customize our Infusion Clinic Evaluation™ services to product protocols, policies, and procedures with the overall goal of providing customer assurance of appropriate and effective administration of their products in a setting where patients receive consistent, safe, and quality care.
