Validation of pharmaceutical information systems: computer software and personal computers

Abstract

The article describes common principles for the validation of computer information systems and personal computers used as a basis for pharmaceutical information systems. The principles are elaborated in accordance with OMCL Network international requirements and international ISO standards. The article also provides classification used for information systems in pharmaceutical organizations. It describes common concepts for the validation of information systems: version management, validation testing, change management, requirements traceability. Common requirements for the use of risk management system for the purpose of development are also provided.
