This webinar will help you understand in detail Computer System Validation (CSV) and how to apply the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) Methodology when validating computer systems subject to FDA regulations.  This is critical in order to develop the appropriate validation strategy and achieve the thoroughness required to prove that a system does what it purports to do.  It also ensures that a system is maintained in a validated state throughout its entire life cycle, from conception through retirement.

We will discuss the phases within the SDLC, and how these form the basis for any CSV project.  The importance of the sequence of steps will also be covered.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

  • The attendees of this Live Webinar will learn:
  • How to reduce the time and labor involved in a computer system validation effort by adequately planning your project?
  • How to leverage past validation efforts to optimize results?
  • 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?
  • 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?
  • 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?
  • 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
  • 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 long run?
  • 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?
  • About potential pitfalls to the validation process through real industry examples
  • How to avoid and/or mitigate potential pitfalls during the validation process?
