To learn more about quality control and data integrity, you need to understand what these terms mean and how they can affect your company.

 

What Is Quality Control and Data Integrity?

 

The Good Practices for Data Management and Integrity in Regulated GMP/GDP Environments document from PICS offers perhaps the most comprehensive explanation of what a quality culture is. According to that document, this type of culture is a work environment that is open and transparent, allowing team members to fully and openly communicate mistakes and failures. This open culture is also a work environment where there are processes and structures that allow information about mistakes and problems to flow between team members at different levels.

 

Why Quality Culture?

 

Quality culture and its importance to the World Health Organization, MHRA and PICS recognizes that data quality is reliant on type of workplace. An organization that punishes team members who come forward with mistakes or issues is likely to have fewer reportable issues and less transparency, which can mean less accurate data. By allowing team members to speak freely and permitting the information to flow to different tiers of the organization, you’ll ensure that data can be accurately collected and acted upon.

 

Improving Organizational Quality Culture and Data Integrity through Risk Management

 

If you would like to create a quality culture, your organization can take several steps, including:

  • Creating a quality risk management plan: A written quality risk management plan should include your potential risks and a detailed plan on how to address problems and mistakes. This plan should make it clear that every team member is part of the solution and can report problems without risk of retaliation.
  • Evaluating your risks: Run an organization-wide audit to evaluate which risks could negatively impact product quality. As you start to write your quality risk management plan, begin by evaluating the risks that could impact your product. Could a supplier issue compromise the product? What other problems have arisen in the past or affected others in your industry?
  • Having a remediation plan: Create a written plan on what to do if something happens. How will an issue be reported? Once an issue is reported, what will the next steps be? How can you begin the remediation process?
  • Maintaining your plans as living documents: The goal of a quality risk management plan isn’t to create a document that sits on a computer. Present the document to your team and use it every day. Add to the document as new challenges come to light, and encourage your team to abide by the plan.

 

How We Can Help

 

A quality culture will help you pave the way for success because you’ll be enjoying better data. When you need to submit to global regulatory agencies, having more robust data can also help.

 

While having data integrity and good metrics is a crucial factor for biologics, medical device, pharmaceutical, compounding pharmacy and other organizations, an open quality culture is also important. In addition, it will help you to notice issues and address them in a timely fashion as well as enable you to plan what to do when problems arise.
