A GAMP® Approach to Data Integrity, Electronic Records and Signatures, and Operation of GxP Computerized Systems (T70)
Overview
The importance and amount of data being generated to ensure product quality and patient safety continues to grow, and proper controls around that data continue to be a subject of regulatory scrutiny. Regulatory agencies across the world are repeatedly citing data integrity issues. As a result, industry guidance and enforcement strategies are evolving. Regulatory concerns and warning letters have extended to all areas of the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device business, including manufacturing, development, clinical, pharmacovigilance and other areas of the product lifecycle. This course will cover data integrity, electronic records and signatures, and the compliant operation of GxP Computerized Systems to provide the tools and techniques to implement proper controls for data to ensure the integrity and validity of the information throughout the data lifecycle.
