Proper Documentation and SOPs to Ensure Laboratory Compliance

Why Should You Attend:

The goal of laboratory documentation should be to ensure compliance. However, failures in documentation and procedures represent more than half of the top citations by FDA. As such one must look at what does proper documentation look like. This presentation will review the regulations related to documentation, some sample citations, and typical procedures found in laboratory operations and then we will propose a way to build better documentation.

With laboratory documentation, or lack thereof, continuing to be a focus of regulatory citations it is important to identify what makes for good laboratory documentation. This webinar will teach you that it’s not just having the procedures, but that the procedures are written in such a way that they ensure consistency of execution of the processes they are purported to be about. Participants will learn current regulatory thinking, examine typical procedure elements and contrast them with well written procedures. A list of suggested procedures every laboratory should have at a minimum will be included. Participants will also be provided with a sample Test execution and review procedure that they can implement for managing testing in their laboratory.
