University of Pennsylvania Institutional Review Board QA/QI Determination Form This worksheet is a guide to help the investigators and IRB determine if the quality assurance/quality improvement activity is human research as defined by the Health and Human Services (HHS) or Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Instructions appear as italicized blue text. The IRB will contact you with the results of their review and may request additional information to assist with their determination. Activities that meet the definition of human research will require submission to the IRB via HS-ERA (https://medley.isc-seo.upenn.edu/hsProtocol/jsp/fast.do). QA/QI Activities that do not meet the definition of human research will be reviewed and granted a letter of QA/QI review and acknowledgement from the IRB. If there is interest in disseminating or publishing the results of the QA/QI activity, this correspondence can be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal or other publication as evidence of IRB review.
