FDA Data Integrity Training: Pack of 6 Training Courses

In today's strict regulatory environment, it is more important than ever for companies and individuals to understand and apply good data integrity practices to comply with FDA regulatory requirements and the new draft guidance. Data Integrity has become one of the hot topics during audits and inspections in the FDA Regulated industry.

Not only does data integrity compliance safeguard patient safety, but also protects the organization from serious financial consequences of FDA's enforcement action. These consequences may include facility shutdown, product recalls, import and/or distribution bans, delayed or denied drug approvals, substantial remediation costs, and loss of customers due to a damaged reputation. Data is the fuel of decision making, continuous improvement, quality, and demonstration of clinical value.

Help yourself and your organization to keep your data consistent, complete, and accurate throughout the data lifecycle by ordering this training kit today.
