Data Integrity Badge

Why Data Integrity? To state the obvious, if data is not accurate, consistent and complete, you not only run the risk of reglatory findings, but patient’s could be at risk. The classes in this badge will prepare you with an understanding of data preparation, documentation, management and strategy.

Who Should Enroll? The Data Integrity Badge is designed for those who are familiar with Good Documentation Practices. Those involved in GMP operations, R&D, Clinical Trials, and anyone who handles any data should enroll in this program. This Badge is also an exceptional resource for those involved in finding and investigating data integrity failures.

What Will I Learn? The Data Integrity Badge builds upon the concepts of Good Documentation Practices, and teaches you how to increase the assurance of data integrity across your GMP systems.  This Badge includes many case studies, 'how to' find data integrity breaches, 'how to' investigate breaches, and 'how to' build a culture of data integrity ownership.

Digital Badge? Once you successfully complete the on-demand program, you will be awarded a Certificate of Completion and a Digital Badge that you can share on LinkedIn!
