Objectives
The objectives of this ECA educational course are to provide:
- An understanding of the scope of data governance within a pharmaceutical quality system
- The roles and responsibilities of senior management for data governance
- Roles and responsibilities of data owners and data stewards in ensuring data integrity of specific systems and processes
- Ensuring the correct culture for data integrity
Background
Data integrity is the hottest regulatory topic today in GMP as a result of inspectors finding poor data management practices and data falsification. As a result, guidance documents have been issued by MHRA and WHO with other guidance due from EMA and PIC/S. In these documents, there is the phrase “Data Governance” used. The same definition of the term is used by MHRA and WHO:
The sum total of arrangements to ensure that data, irrespective of the format in which it is generated, is recorded, processed, retained and used to ensure a complete, consistent and accurate record throughout the data lifecycle.
As guidance, the “sum total of arrangements” is not very illuminating or informative. In fact, the definition of data governance from the draft WHO guidance starts with the phrase “Management leadership …” which is much more informative and focussed.
This course is designed to help GMP organisations understand the term and implications of data governance. Data governance and data integrity is not just about correct numbers, it is much more than that and involves management leadership, influencing others, change of culture, effective training and personal honesty.
