The {riskassessment} App

About the App

The app’s main goal is to help those making “package inclusion” requests for validated GxP environments. So, the highest and best of {riskassessment} revolves around two things:

  • Empower members of your organization to embrace their responsibility to assess package risk themselves, prior to making uninformed IT requests like: “please add package xyz to our validated environment”.

  • Establish guide rails that adopt to your organizations validation strategy and use of {riskmetric} which culminates in a report for IT that summarizes each package’s adherence to those inclusion requirements.

The {riskassessment} app achieves that main goal with the following handy offerings:

  • Provides a platform for package exploration without the need to write any custom {riskmetric}
  • Runs {riskmetric} on the same machine with the same environment – creating a central hub for reproducibility
  • Maintains consistent, org-specific settings/options when producing risk outputs
  • Automates a risk-based “decision triage” based on an org-defined set of rules, saving time & effort
  • Manages who’s involved in the review process via user authentication & role management
  • Facilitates and stores user written summaries & communication, on certain packages and/or certain metrics
  • Generates risk summary reports, for sharing with the decision making parties

Below is a screenshot from the application’s current demo app, hosted on shinyapps.io. Feel free to give it a test ride!
