Change Control Management Within a Complete eQMS
The change control management solution by SimplerQMS allows Life Science companies to create, document, and manage all changes within the organization.
To document the change process, you can create and delegate specific assignments that will be electronically signed when approved. Various features will be available to you, such as best-practice change request templates, the ability to specify documents in scope for the change, select workflow participants, routing changes for review and approval, setting reminders, and more.
SimplerQMS change control management software is part of a complete quality management software solution, which includes core life science QMS modules such as training, non-conformance, CAPA, supplier, audit management, and much more.
Create, Review, and Approve Change Requests
Use built-in templates to create change requests directly from, for example, non-conformances and CAPAs, saving time and simplifying the workflow. Or design your own change request templates to meet your specific needs.
Specify which document type needs to be updated with a change request, for example, an SOP, and which document types can be updated without a change request.
Easily route change requests for review or update and assign specific people to the task. Set up reminders to ensure the change request is conducted on time.
Electronically sign the change request upon approval to document the change justification and record all process steps.
Be Accountable for All Changes
SimplerQMS solution allows you to overview change request status via customizable views and monitor the progress of each change. The system automatically records all changes made to documents and provides complete time-stamped audit trails.
Store all data in a centralized, cloud-based solution for secure and easy access from anywhere. Retrieve data quickly and share with relevant collaborators with a few clicks.
Prevent unauthorized changes in documentation by setting access level security. Change requests for specific documents, for instance, Quality Manuals, can only be accessed by the Change Manager and assigned people.
Ensure Compliance With Life Science Requirements
Monitor, control, and record changes efficiently across processes and documents and comply with Life Science requirements.
Change control management software simplifies change request workflow and supports companies’ continuous improvement processes.
SimplerQMS enables you to sign all documents and files using electronic signatures compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11.
Implement Change Across All Departments
Choose the documents in scope from different departments to create a seamless workflow. For example, Change Managers can generate a change request directly from a customer complaint to modify steps in an SOP later on.
Set up notifications and reminders allowing employees to keep track of change requests and their required activities, to help ensure that all change-related processes are completed on time.
Native integrations to other QMS modules such as CAPAs, non-conformances, document control, employee training, suppliers, audits, and many others enable all changes to be properly controlled and managed throughout the organization.
Raise Awareness and Keep Employees Updated
Raise awareness of employees regarding changes and updated documents in a timely manner with email notifications.
For example, you can also integrate change control management with employee training management to keep the workforce always trained and competent to perform their functions. Automatically notify relevant employees regarding new training activities after updating a document related to a change request.
Monitor Change Impact and Effectiveness
Change priority can be set in the metadata card according to your needs. For example, a change with an extensive impact on an SOP could be addressed first, with a high priority.
Automatically set assignments and tasks to streamline the process of assessing effectiveness, if needed.
Communicate changes and their impact on departments to help employees understand and implement change efficiently.
