Services #1: Compliance – Master Validation Plan, SOP’s, IT Workbook, GAMP5, 21CFRPart11, ISO, IT Audits.
By creating a Master validation plan, you will be able to elaborate a list of priorities for the suppliers and the IT and IS team to write standard operating procedures. Through time, BioITpm has found ways to automate a great part of the documentation such as the performance qualification and the asset inventory, permitting a smoother integration of this work process for the technical staff, limiting their implication to the installation and operation documentation.
The creation of standard operating procedures can be performed with current templates from your company or developed with BioITpm standard templates. It can also be possible that all these documents will be cumulated in an IT “cookbook,” permitting not only to have standard operating procedures per device, assets or software, but also policies pertaining to the governance and good practices that should be followed and respected by the IT team.
Finally, it is possible to integrate all these documents and supporting material such as device performance logs into a centralized repository such as an electronic document management system. The cumulation of all this information will enable to perform elaborate Boolean searches through all the documentation and also numerically sign a document accumulating all pertaining and relevant information for a specific incident in a PDF/a format.
