| Risk management must span the entire lifecycle of a computerized system. Patient safety, data integrity, and product quality must be taken into account. As a quality risk management, risk management must be applied to confirm the required verification scope and control level of data integrity based on your written risk evaluation result. A computerized system must record the identity of each operator that inputs or verifies core data. Only authorized operators can modify inputted data. Each time an operator modifies an existing core data piece, the operation must be approved and the reason for the modification must be recorded. An enterprise can build a tracking system to audit data in a computerized system based on the result of risk evaluation. This way, data inputs and modifications can be recorded. You must develop an operation guide on how to process system failures or damages. You can verify the content of the operation guide if necessary. All incidents, including system failures and data faults must be recorded and evaluated. You must investigate major incidents, identify the root causes of the incidents, and take the required corrective measures and preventive measures. | |
