QPPV Metrics Knowledge Assessment

The vendor's invoice and a verbal confirmation of performance The KPI definition, contract clause, raw vendor evidence, reconciliation records, review minutes and documented remediation where applicable Only the aggregate green or amber status A current vendor presentation without historical results

Every breach automatically requires a permanent CAPA A breach should trigger appropriate investigation and may require CAPA, with effectiveness later verified where CAPA is implemented CAPA is relevant only to audit findings, not operational metrics CAPA completion alone proves that the underlying problem was resolved

The delegated analyst exclusively The vendor, if the activity is outsourced The QPPV, while the named metric owner remains responsible for calculation, validation, interpretation and first-line action The procurement department

Whether every case has been submitted within 15 calendar days Whether expected clinically relevant information has been obtained within the agreed timeframe Whether vendors have met all contractual KPIs Whether all open cases have been closed regardless of missing information

To demonstrate that thresholds can be bypassed in emergencies To verify that roles, timing, communication routes and required evidence function as intended before a real breach occurs To replace formal SOP approval To determine whether metrics should be removed from the PSMF

Reviewing every metric with identical frequency and escalation criteria Focusing more frequent review and automated monitoring on expedited reporting timeliness and backlog Ignoring metrics that are below threshold because they do not require oversight Using only historical annual averages to determine current priorities

It has a defined owner, source data and escalation action It measures an activity directly linked to a regulatory or patient-safety risk It reports a high-level volume that is easy to calculate but cannot identify or prompt action on any meaningful risk It is reviewed at different operational and strategic cadences

Use the global metric unchanged because local rules cannot affect metrics Remove the country from the metric population Maintain a country-specific metric variant with its own applicable threshold and owner, cross-referenced in the glossary Allow the local affiliate to create an undocumented spreadsheet

The metric is necessarily a leading indicator rather than a lagging indicator The metric cannot be used in a dashboard because percentages are unsuitable for pharmacovigilance The inclusion and exclusion rules are insufficiently defined, reducing reproducibility and interpretability The metric must be owned exclusively by Quality Assurance

The metric automatically becomes more conservative Historical comparability and calculation reproducibility may be compromised The metric becomes a vendor SLA metric The change has no impact if the monthly percentage is unchanged
