Overview
Today’s quality landscape is incredibly complex with multiple data analysis, informatics, and enterprise systems. To ensure quality results, regulators across industries are focusing on data integrity, data security and consistent laboratory practices. This increased regulatory focus is driving many laboratories to leverage digital technology to automate their laboratory operations. This digital transformation of the lab is doing more than just ensuring compliance with the latest regulatory guidelines. It is driving laboratory productivity and enabling faster decision making by streamlining workflows. This seminar will describe the data integrity guidance documents from the MHRA, FDA, EMA and WHO and the recent changes that were implemented in ISO/IEC 17025:2017. It will also explain how today’s informatics solutions can help lab managers ensure compliance, drive efficiency and productivity and transform the lab.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how instrument technology is responding to the digital transformation of the laboratory through cloud connectivity and increased speed and performance
- Learn how informatics solutions can enforce laboratory best practices as defined by GxP and ISO 17025
- Learn how, through integration and automation technology, laboratories are enabling faster decision making and improving laboratory productivity
- Learn how digital technology has the potential to change how science is performed
