We are asking any patients who visit us on these days to provide us direct observational feedback on our hand hygiene. This helps us to identify gaps or moments where we may not be doing as well as we should so that we can make improvements.
If you have feedback on our hand hygiene or anything else at the 69传媒Health and Wellness Centre, please do not hesitate to contact us at healthcentre@upei.ca or visit our website: /health-centre, and click on "We'd love to hear from you" in the right-hand menu or complete a compliments/complaints card located in the waiting room.

Abstract:
鈥淒r. Domike recently led a workshop on risk assessment for technology innovation in biomanufacturing. The workshop involved thirty-one colleagues from industry representing nineteen different biopharmaceutical companies (including Pfizer, Amgen, Biogen, Merck) engaged through MIT's Center for Biomedical Innovation. The workshop was focused on identifying, quantifying, and mitigating risks associated with operating both human and non-human host cell systems in an open manufacturing facility.
The quality risk management (QRM) approach utilized in the workshop aligned with that of the International Council for Harmonisation. It also built upon prior research publications authored by Dr. Domike focused on practically implementing QRM consistent with the FDA鈥檚 21st-century quality initiative. The workflow that was designed and enacted was aligned with best practices in innovation utilized for risky endeavours in high-technology industries (e.g., aerospace, automobile automation). The workflow utilized mapping the manufacturing process, defining the risk question, risk evaluation, and risk control. The workshop outcomes included a completed failure mode and effects analysis that can be used as a guideline during practical implementation of the technology innovation.
These approaches to QRM and innovation management are relevant to bio-tech companies on PEI, and Dr. Domike has enacted these approaches in some of those PEI companies.
The research presentation will take place on Wednesday, March 9, from 12:45 to 2 pm.
