sciCLoud.netChange Control: Quality, Reliability, and Safety
Laboratory change control is a process used to manage and govern changes to a laboratory’s operations, processes, and systems. Change control is essential as alterations to the lab’s operations can have significant impacts on the quality and reliability of the laboratory’s work, as well as the safety of its personnel and the environment.
Successful Change Control and GLP
LabLynx can assist your business in implementing effective change control to ensure that changes are properly evaluated, documented, and implemented in a controlled and systematic manner. LabLynx ELab LIMS supports good laboratory practice (GLP), a set of principles and guidelines that establish a consistent and systematic approach to the planning, conduct, and reporting of laboratory research. GLP includes a number of best practices for change control, which are designed to ensure that changes to a laboratory’s operations are properly documented, reviewed, and implemented in a controlled and systematic manner. Some key GLP best practices for change management include:
Documentation
Changes to the laboratory’s operations should be documented in a clear and concise manner, including details of the change, the reason for the change, and any potential impacts or risks.
Review & Approval
Changes should be reviewed and approved by appropriate personnel, such as laboratory managers or quality assurance staff, to ensure the changes are appropriate and meet the necessary standards and requirements.
Implementation
Changes should be maintained in detailed records, including documentation of the change, the review and approval process, and the implementation and monitoring of the change.
Monitoring & Evaluation
Changes should be maintained in detailed records, including documentation of the change, the review and approval process, and the implementation and monitoring of the change.
Maintaining Records
Changes should be maintained in detailed records, including documentation of the change, the review and approval process, and the implementation and monitoring of the change.
LabLynx’s Expertise Helps You Manage Change
At LabLynx, our team of application engineers work with your laboratory staff to document requested changes, provide input on whether the changes will result in needed functionality or pose additional challenges to other processes, and implement approved changes in a systematic manner.
LabLynx utilizes a three-tier approach to change control.
Develop
The accepted change is engineered and developed in a development system.
Test
The change is copied to a test environment to verify it works as expected. Both LabLynx and the laboratory team will conduct thorough tests to ensure the intended objective.
Deploy
Once approved by the client, the change is deployed to the production system and is available to all users.
