Efficient, Effective and Compliant Documentation in the QC Laboratory This QC laboratory documentation webinar will cover best practices and processes to efficiently document your QC laboratory’s operations so as to positively influence an FDA inspector’s opinion. It will cover documentation requirements to ensure FDA compliance. Description Why Should You Attend: The efficiency and effectiveness of your QC lab is dependent on how well your analysts document their daily operations. Their work is only as good as the records they produce and the documentation will have a direct impact on the inspector’s opinion of your operation. Poor practices and incorrect processes will lead to errors. These are time consuming and expensive. Investigations can tie up supervisors and managers for days or weeks and result in the holding of finished product and delaying the release of raw materials. To minimize this, firms have employed long and extensive SOPs implementing practices that must be interpreted to require repetition of procedures and protocols that are already approved and accepted. Extra time is spent for each analysis and this results in greater chances of errors due to over documentation. In this session, the speaker will cover best practices and processes that you can implement to effectively and efficiently document your daily operations. At the end of this webinar you would have learned valuable tips to ensure that the quality, completeness and accuracy of you QC laboratory documentation will positively impact the FDA inspector’s opinion of your operation. Areas Covered in this Session: Why Document? Good Documentation Practices (GDP). FDA Documentation Requirements. Errors correction. Calculations – Good, Bad and the Ugly. Computerization of Calculations. Computerized Documentation. Integration of existing systems. 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
