Frequently asked questions
What types of incidents can be captured in softQMS Incident Management?
The system captures quality incidents, safety events, contamination events, near misses, system failures, and operational disruptions. During impact assessment, incidents affecting product quality (SISPQ) are classified as deviations and routed to the Deviation module, while non-quality-impact incidents continue within the Incident module.
How does the system differentiate between incidents and deviations?
The system includes an impact assessment step where incidents are evaluated for potential impact on product quality (SISPQ). If quality impact is identified, the record is converted or linked to a deviation; otherwise, it is managed within the Incident module.
Can incidents be linked to the CAPA module?
Yes. Incidents can be seamlessly linked to the CAPA module, enabling initiation and tracking of corrective and preventive actions with full traceability from identification through effectiveness verification.
How are incident resolution timelines managed?
Configurable SLA timelines, automated reminders, and escalation alerts ensure incidents are investigated and closed within defined timeframes.
How does the module maintain a complete audit trail for incident activities?
Every action, comment, approval, and status change is timestamped and attributed to the user, creating a secure, immutable, and inspection-ready audit trail.
Can incident reports be generated for regulatory submissions or internal reviews?
Yes. The module generates structured reports including incident details, impact assessment, investigation findings, and actions taken suitable for both regulatory and internal reviews.
Does the module support trend analysis across multiple incidents?
Yes. Trend dashboards enable analysis by incident type, department, product, or time period, helping identify recurring issues and systemic risks.
Is the module accessible during manufacturing operations?
Yes. The system is accessible on network connected devices, allowing real-time incident reporting at the point of occurrence by production and QA teams.
Can multiple users collaborate on incident investigation and resolution?
Yes. The system supports cross functional collaboration with role-based task assignments, enabling multiple departments to participate in investigation, review, and closure.
Is the Incident Management module compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements?
Yes. The module complies with 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11, supporting electronic signatures, audit trails, secure user access, and data integrity controls to ensure all records are secure and audit-ready.
