Introduction

Does it happen that when looking at a form, you can’t figure what information is required? You are confused about the nature of the information requested? Where to enter data and when? Or maybe, people keep omitting filling in certain fields or cross out information where they should not really do it? Or are uncertain about the boundaries applicable to certain fields? Or the form is so lengthy that one can lose track of its meaning and what it’s there for? Or having to explain to an auditor why so many data entry errors on the specific document were made…and looking foolish at trying to work your way out of it!

Compliance is measured through the quality of the documentation and forms are a great part of it. Poor form design is one of the major contributing factors to entry errors which cause endless back and forth of documents during the review-approval processes, misunderstanding of expectations, rejects, reworks, delays in the release of GMP documents or raising interest of a GMP regulatory auditor.

With knowledge of how the brain works and focusing attention in the day to day of task execution, one can figure out some basic principles to make forms more user friendly and thus, make them more straightforward to reduce the potential for data entry errors.

This session will discuss how to design forms for right first time error free data entry, how to evaluate your forms for improvements and how to respond to the inspection. Also, contained in this session will be tips on how to improve focus of attention in the workplace.
Areas Covered in the Session
  • Focus of attention
  • Most current mistakes in data entry
  • Most current problems with form design
  • Analyzing data flow
  • Lean forms principles
  • Redesign a form for right first time data entry
Who Should Attend

This webinar will provide valuable assistance to all regulated companies, to improve by design forms and other similar data capture documents.

Document design plays a crucial role in attention focus and is the prime contributing factor to error entries or misinterpretation of instructions preventing correct execution of tasks, as well as delaying document review because of entry errors.

This webinar fully applies to Medical Device, Diagnostic, Pharmaceutical, and Biologics fields. Those who will benefit include:

  • Executive/Senior Management
  • Production and QA Management
  • Any personnel who may design forms for data entry
