Regulatory FAQs
What are the main best practices for regulatory compliance in pharma?
There are four main pillars of compliance that influence our delivery of regulatory solutions, services, and support:
- Knowledge - we stay up-to-date with the latest developements in regulations, guidelines, and best practices.
- Record-keeping and documentation - we implement robust controls, policies, and procedures for documentation and record-keeping.
- Risk management - we identify compliance risks and put in place strategies to manage and mitigate those risks.
- Quality control - we ensure there is an over-arching focus on quality as quality is the cornerstone of compliance.
How does technology and automation improve pharmaceutical laboratory compliance?
There are a number of tasks performed by laboratory teams that can be categorised as non-scientific and/or non-laboratory work. Data collection and recording are two examples, in addition to ensuring data integrity. Performing these tasks manually takes up valuable time and resources, and creates significant scope for human error. Technologies and automation solutions free up resources for laboratory and scientific tasks while optimising compliance processes and eliminating the risk of human error.
What are data integrity controls in the pharmaceutical industry?
Data integrity controls are about ensuring your organisation's data is accurate, consistent, and reliable, and they are essential for regulatory compliance. Following ALCOA+ principles is an effective approach to implementing data integrity controls. In ALCOA+, data should be:
- Attributable - the source of the data and the date and time should be recorded
- Legible - able to clearly read and understand the data
- Contemporaneous - data is recorded at the time an action takes place
- Original - data records should not be transcriptions or copies
- Accurate - data should reflect what happened and be free from errors and editing
- Complete - nothing should be deleted, missing, or lost
- Consistent - data should be chronological
- Enduring - data should always be available in the future
- Available - data should be accessible
