Packages
Explore the OpenRBQM ecosystem of open-source R packages for RBQM.
Overview
The OpenRBQM framework is designed to provide a robust and flexible solution for risk-based quality management. It includes a variety of packages that help streamline processes and ensure compliance with industry standards.
The {gsm} Ecosystem
The {gsm.core} package is a successor to {gsm}, which was deprecated in March 2025. The contents of {gsm} were split into a family of focused packages, each owning one part of the risk-based monitoring workflow.
Package lineage
How the packages fit together
Together the successor packages form a pipeline that turns raw clinical data into monitoring reports. {workr} executes the YAML-defined workflows that drive each step, and {gsm.core} provides the analytics used to construct and evaluate the metrics.
