Course Overview:
Computerized systems are used extensively to capture, analyze, store data, report information and to control equipment and processes in laboratories and manufacturing facilities. Internal and external audit of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry has consistently indicated a lack of validated computer control in the industry. Computer validation has become one of the key areas of strong emphasis for regulatory agencies such as Food and Drug Administration (FDA-US) and health Canada. This training course provides participants with the practical approaches to understanding of the methodology used to validate a computer-related system. Practical recommendations on how to increase efficiency and ensure that validation is performed correctly the first time are used through the entire course. The concepts introduced provide a comprehensive framework for validation of computerized systems and present a logical and practical approach to the validation of any computerized system to meet both regulatory concerns and business needs within the pharmaceutical environment.
