George, Becky and Tom of Two Harbors Consulting discuss the differences, similarities and value add of appraisals and audits.  Is one better than the other?  Can you get a map between the medical device quality system regulation (QSR) and the CMMI?  Why aren't their maturity levels used in the Case for Quality appraisal program?

A few concepts referred to in the episode:
CMMI:  https://cmmiinstitute.com/
The Medical Device Discovery Appraisal Program or MDDAP (also referred to as the Case For Quality Voluntary Improvement Program): https://cmmiinstitute.com/medicaldevice
