It’s always challenging to optimize the approach to validating an FDA-regulated system and maintaining it in a state of compliance throughout its life cycle. The initial validation process can be streamlined by adequately planning all aspects of the effort. There are specific practices that can ensure the system is thoroughly and adequately designed, developed, implemented, tested and ready for production while avoiding the many potential pitfalls often encountered during the process. There are many examples of both the best practices and potential pitfalls that will be shared to ready you for your journey in FDA compliance.

In this webinar, you will learn how to do your due diligence in computer system validation by applying industry best practices and avoiding the potential pitfalls encountered by many. You will also learn how to manage these over the longer-term maintenance of a system, ensuring compliance with FDA throughout the system’s entire life cycle.

Course Objective:

• Learn how to reduce the time and labor involved in a computer system validation effort by adequately planning your project.
• Learn how to leverage past validation efforts to optimize results.
• Learn how to ensure your team members are adequately trained to implement and maintain an FDA-regulated computer system in order to manage a successful outcome.
• Learn how efficient and effective testing can ensure that all deficiencies are captured before a system is put into production, allowing for a smooth go-live without delay.
• Learn how to keep on top of changes to the system over time to ensure it is maintained in a validated state and does not require a complete revalidation due to neglect.
• Learn how to manage organizational change at the outset of a new system implementation project in order to avoid sabotage and other attempts to resist new ways of conducting business.
• Learn how to evaluate business processes to ensure that these are optimized as the system is being developed and/or configured to enable improvements in efficiency and effectiveness of operations that will save money in the longer run.
• Learn how to document all validation work in order to ensure that revisits to the deliverables during subsequent system changes are efficient and do not require extra labor to dig through poorly documented information.
• Learn about potential pitfalls to the validation process through real industry examples.
• Learn how to avoid and/or mitigate potential pitfalls during the validation process.
