Organizing Data and Document Archives Finding a Needle in a Haystack for FDA Inspections
Product Details
‘Now, where is that darn document?’
Paper documents unscanned. Naming conventions that don’t make sense. Emails as documentations. Poor communication with the vendors that generate your data. Non-functional (or non-existent) SOPs. Documents missing altogether. Yes, data retrieval is in a sorry state at far too many drug, device, biologics and diagnostics companies.
But your next inspection day need not become scavenger hunt day. Create effective new SOPs for electronic document management, or improve existing ones. It’s easy — when you know how.
FDAnews has invited a leading GCP/GLP/GMP consultant to help you get control of your data. In 90 fast-paced minutes on your own desktop, you’ll learn the basics of developing best practices and SOPs that turn inspection nightmares into routine management tasks. Here’s just a taste of what you and your staff will discover:
