BioNetwork Course: Computer Application Validation

Interactively learn and apply requirements in validating Computer System Applications. By concentrating on information systems and instruction on how to meet requirements of CFR 21, Part 11 Electronic Records, Electronic Signatures, the course includes how to test systems security, data integrity, backup and recovery. Hands-on exercises allow students to use validation principles through assessments to determine the level of validation required, writing validation plans, protocols, executing protocols, and analyzing results. Case studies and simulated validation deviations allow participants to experience real-life situations while honing problem-solving skills.
