Data integrity requires data to be Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original and Accurate (ALCOA). Being in a regulated industry, you know data integrity has always been important and you’ve undoubtedly been wrestling with the best way to ensure that integrity. How much and to what extent can data integrity be assured through laboratory software systems (i.e. LIMS and ELN)? What aspects need to be addressed through processes and procedures? How do you ensure that your laboratory systems and staff comply with the recent Data Integrity Regulatory Guidance from the FDA?

No LIMS, no matter how great it may be, is one hundred percent beneficial without proper implementation and training. Modern day LIMS are too complex with too many functions to truly just figure out on your own. However, many times, a LIMS implementation has failed simply because the implementer understood the computer system but fail to comprehend the laboratory itself or vice versa.

With more and more companies in the pharmaceutical and life science industries moving to electronic data collection, analysis, storage, and reporting, the responsibility for knowing where your data are at all times and whether they are accurate and reliable is paramount for being compliant.
