Advancing Quality Excellence Collaborative Community
Overview
The Advancing Quality Excellence Collaborative Community (AQEcc), formerly known as the Case for Quality Collaborative Community, offers a unique opportunity for medical device stakeholders to work together to enhance device quality and patient safety.
Objective
The MDIC AQEcc aims to enhance patient safety and outcomes by fostering higher quality across the total product lifecycle in the medical device ecosystem.
Program Background
Leveraging its unique convening platform, the AQEcc brings together manufacturers, healthcare providers, governmental agencies, third parties, industry associations, and other stakeholders to develop practices, tools, and metrics that promote product quality—from design and manufacturing to performance.
Through stakeholder collaboration, the AQEcc encourages regulatory best practices that align with these goals. Key initiatives include the Voluntary Improvement Program (VIP), SafeSpace, #makeCAPAcool – Risk-Management Framework, Accelerate Sustainable Capability Pilot, Championing a Culture of Quality Initiative, and various stakeholder events.
