Course Description
Over the past 30 years, the FDA’s approach to computer system validation (CSV) has shaped the compliance framework across regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices.
With the release of its Technology Modernization Action Plan (TMAP), the FDA is setting a bold new course—one that reflects the complexities of today’s digital ecosystem.
This course delves into how TMAP transforms the FDA’s collaboration with industry stakeholders, moving beyond traditional validation to encompass emerging technologies like cloud computing, Software as a Service (SaaS), and automated systems.
It highlights the growing emphasis on data integrity, not only for structured systems but also for unstructured data—including documents, spreadsheets, and multimedia files.
Through this expert-led session, participants will gain clarity on:
-
- The core objectives and structure of FDA’s TMAP
- Evolving expectations for computerized system compliance
- The extended scope of data integrity, covering new data formats
- How TMAP impacts risk management, validation strategies, and audit readiness
- Key insights into aligning modern IT environments with regulatory compliance
This is an essential primer for teams looking to align their digital infrastructure with the FDA’s modernization goals—while ensuring system reliability, patient safety, and long-term compliance.
