ISPE CEUs*: 1.5 Type: Classroom Training Course

Dates and Locations

Description

Using the new GAMP® Good Practice Guide: A Risk Based Approach to Compliant Electronic Records and Signatures as a resource, this course will give participants a practical introduction to the 21 CFR Part 11 regulation, which affects all aspects of computerized systems in the pharmaceutical industry. Taught through a combination of introductory Online Essentials, classroom presentations, workshop sessions, and team exercises, the course will present an overview of Part 11 including its objectives, benefits, and potential problems. This will be followed by a detailed analysis of Part 11 requirements, a discussion of electronic records and signatures, and key industry issues. This course will also provide up-to-the-minute information on the status of FDA’s current re-examination of the regulation, including a discussion of the Agency’s latest Part 11-related guidance.

A central element of this course will be an explanation of the GAMP approach to 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, as well as compliance with other international regulations covering electronic records and signatures. The GAMP Guide provides timely and much needed direction on meeting current regulatory expectations for compliant electronic records and signatures. The Guide describes how a risk management approach may be used to ensure the compliance of regulated electronic records and signatures, through the application of appropriate controls commensurate with the impact of records and the risks to those records.

A complimentary copy of the Good Practice and Compliance for Electronic Records and Signatures: Complying with 21 CFR Part 11, Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures, Part 2 will be provided to each participant.

This course contains knowledge related to the CPIP™ technical knowledge competency elements Information Systems and Quality Systems. For complete information concerning the knowledge elements or the CPIP Credential, please visit www.ispe-pcc.org.
