Programme Part 1
Establishing the Controls for Laboratory Data Integrity
GMP Regulations Impacting Laboratory Data and Results- EU GMP requirements
 - MHRA and WHO Data Integrity Guidances
 - FDA GMP requirements
 - FDA Guidance documents OOS, Inspection of QC labs
 - Inspection findings 483 and warning letters
 - Defining Data Integrity, “complete data” and „raw data“
 
Principles for the Generation of Data
- Observational tests and instrument tests
 - Training of staff
 - Qualified analytical instruments and validated Software
 - Integrity issues
 - Application of ALCOA+ principles
 
WORKSHOP I: Generation of Data
- What are the requirements for raw data integrity?
 - Three scenarios covering
- a paper System
 - a hybrid system
 - a client server electronic system
 
 
Processing and Reporting of Data
- Paper / hybrid based Systems
 - Networked systems with electronic records and signatures
 - Calculations and transformation of data manually and by computer applications
 - Application of ALCOA+ principles to the process
 - Calculating the reportable value and comparison with the specification
 - Paper processes versus electronic processes
 - Linkage with out of specification investigations (OOS)
 
WORKSHOP II: Processing and Reporting of Data
- Reviewing an analytical record
 - Scenario covering paper based record and an electronic system
 
Reviewing Data
- Role of the second person review
 - Determination that the reportable result is correctly calculated
 
WORKSHOP III: Data Review of an Excel Template
Collation and Reporting Results
- Role of the second person Review
 - Determination that the reportable result is correctly calculated
 - Identification and correction of errors for paper and electronic systems
 - Do you have complete data?
 
Programme Part 2
Self Inspections and Audits to confirm Effective Data Integrity Controls
 
WORKSHOP IV: Paper, Hybrid and Electronic Reporting Processes
- Discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of reporting processes
 
Data Integrity Self Inspections and On-site and Remote Audits for Hybrid and Electronic Systems
-  Observations and findings
 -  Remote audits: practicalities, limitations and problems
 
WORKSHOP V: Electronic Signature Auditing
- Use of electronic signatures can mask some Data Integrity issues
 - Can the attendees find what those issues are?
 - Feedback from the teaching team
 
WORKSHOP VI: Risk Assessment and Prioritisation
- So much to do but so little time – risk management in practice
 - When conducting a Data Integrity audit which areas within a pharmaceutical quality system will be the focus?
 - Feedback from the teaching team
 
WORKSHOP VII: Audit of an Excel Spreadsheet
- Attendees will be given an example of a spreadsheet
 - What questions need to be asked to determine if there is sufficient Data Integrity and control?
 - Feedback from the teaching team
 
WORKSHOP VIII: Auditing a Hybrid Standalone System
- A laboratory system is used in hybrid mode
 - What questions should the auditor ask to determine if there are any data integrity problems?
 - Feedback and discussion with the teaching team
 
WORKSHOP IX: Auditing a Networked Laboratory System – Audit Trail Review
- Review of audit trail entries is a key data integrity requirement of Annex 11
 - Attendees will review the printout of an audit trail to determine if there any data integrity issues to be raised?
 - Can the attendees find what those issues are?
 - Feedback and discussion with the teaching team
 
WORKSHOP X: Preparing for the Data Integrity Audit
- Preparation for a remote audit - what can you read?
 - Requesting the Site Master File
 - Requesting documents
 - Handling time zone differences
 - What video conferencing system will you use?
 
WORKSHOP XI: Conducting a Remote Data Integrity Audit
- Remote laboratory tour - what are you allowed to see?
 - On-line access to networked computer Systems
 - Access to standalone systems?
 - Viewing documents on-line
 - Screens for the remote audit and taking notes
 
WORKSHOP XII: Reviewing the Follow up Responses from a Remote Data Integrity Audit
- Access to documents after the Audit
 - Reviewing responses to audit findings
 - Resolution of audit findings with evidence
