Practical Implementation of Quality Assurance and Accreditation Requirements |
Establishing a Data Integrity Plan
Effective ethics and data integrity plans are becoming more and more important to consistently generating good data. The TNI 2009 EL Standard has a number of requirements for establishing an effective data integrity program to both protect the organizations reputation and help assure the quality and integrity of the data generated. What systems, practices, and procedures are needed to meet the current standards and more importantly to support an effective management system? What does management of a laboratory and field sample collection and measurement organizations need to do to ensure an effective program? How do you audit to this part of the standard?
Recommended Attendees

This 3-hour interactive webcast provides an introduction and basic understanding of what goes into implementing an effective data integrity plan. This webcast includes a review of the Standard provisions, clarifications of language and explanations of the requirements. Discussion will also include suggestions on potential implementation and tools to monitor progress and undertake a "proactive prevention" process. The webcast is designed to suggest how an effective data integrity program can fold into a laboratory's management system without having two management systems. The material presented is designed to assist management in developing and implementing a detection and prevention program through systems, practices, procedures, simple tools and communication. Opportunities for interaction are provided through polling questions, problem solving and question/answer.
