The Webinar will focus on the importance of ensuring that electronic record/electronic signature (ER/ES) capability built into FDA-regulated computer systems meets compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. This includes development of a company philosophy and approach, and incorporating it into the overall computer system validation program and plans for individual systems that have this capability, in order to achieve a goal of going "paperless".

Course Objectives:

• Learn about 21 CFR Part 11 and what is required for compliance
• Learn about industry best practices related to compliance and computer system validation
• Understand strategies for reducing the cost and complexity of compliance with FDA regulations, including 21 CFR Part 11
• Understand how the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology supports the computer system validation process
• Understand how to effectively document the process of computer system validation, and maintain current information about the various systems in your organization and how they are maintained in a validated state
• Learn how to gain information about trends in validation, as industry progresses and new best practices emerge
• Understand some of the industry best practices to apply when following the SDLC methodology

Why Should You Attend:

You should attend this seminar if you are responsible for planning, executing or managing the implementation of any system governed by FDA regulations that uses ER/ES capability, or if you are maintaining or supporting such a system.

Effective and compliant computer system validation is critical to any pharmaceutical or FDA-regulated organization. During the past 30 years, best practices that have been developed will ensure that validation activities are cost-effective while meeting all aspects of FDA compliance.

There is an enormous body of documentation and information available that can be overwhelming. This course will provide a condensed overview of the key practices that deliver the best results by directing the attendees to the most critical and cost-effective methods, techniques and tools available.

Course Outline:

Topics covered include:

• Computer System Validation (CSV) and the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology
• Good "Variable" Practice (GxP) (Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP))
• Validation Strategy that will take into account the system risk assessment process
• FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records/Electronic Signatures) Guidance
• Strategic Approach to ER/ES Compliance
• Policies and Procedures to support GxP compliance with 21 CFR Part 11
• Training and Organizational Change Management best practices to help move the organization in a new direction
• Industry best practices and common pitfalls

Topic Background:

FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 was enacted in the late 1990s and implementation success across the pharmaceutical and other regulated industries has been mixed. There are very specific limitations that arise when using ER/ES capability, such as the elimination of print capability to prevent users from making decisions based on a paper record as opposed to the electronic record. It also requires very specific identification of users that ensures the person signing the record is the same person whose credentials are being entered and verified by the system. Rules for changing passwords must be rigorously adhered to and the passwords must be kept secure.

It is also critical that the system specify the exact meaning of the signature. It may be that the person conducted the work, recorded the result, reviewed the result, or approved the result. A person may simply be attesting to the fact that they reviewed the work and the signatures, and there was appropriate segregation of duties (i.e., the person recording the result is not the same as either the person reviewing or the person giving final approval).

A company must have specific policies and procedures in place that explicitly state responsibilities and provide guidance for implementing and using ER/ES capability. These must clarify the 21 CFR Part 11 regulations and provide insight as to the way the company interprets their responsibility for meeting it. As FDA continues to evolve and change due to the many factors that influence the regulatory environment, companies must be able to adapt. New technologies will continue to emerge that will change the way companies do business. While many of these are intended to streamline operations, reducing time and resources, some unintentionally result in added layers of oversight that encumber a computer system validation program and require more time and resources, making the technology unattractive from a cost-benefit perspective.
