Electronic Records Management

Course Description:

Records play a big part in determining the quality and usefulness of the data, both hard copy and electronic. This class focuses on how electronic records might be used. With many labs moving to the use of electronic records, it becomes important to understand how these are handled.

The objective of this class is to provide guidance in meeting TNI’s 2016 standard (EL-V1M2-2016- Rev 2.1: Quality Systems General Requirements Sections 4.13 Control of Records; 4.16 Data Integrity, 5.5-5.10 traceability, collection, handling, testing and reporting of results).  This would also include ideas for how to locate state requirements.

Expected Learning Outcomes:

  • Understanding TNI requirements for an electronic record, storage requirements, maintenance and disposal, retrievability, confidentiality, protection, and back-up with an emphasis on how electronic record keeping can be used.
  • Audit trails, traceability, records of observations, calculations, tracking changes/corrections to include signage of who made the changes provide the guidelines to meet the standard requirements. 
  • Raw Data management/association- how can the raw data be kept and associated and easily accessible.
  • Electronic security, software documentation and verification- establish the requirements and processes to demonstrate adequate documentation.
  • Electronic QC records- what types of information can be attained?
  • Where can I locate state requirement information?

Intended Audience:

This course is designed for Laboratory management (Laboratory Director/Technical Manager/Quality Assurance Manager), supervisors, and key laboratory staff.
