Remote Auditing

At Pharmity, we have extensive experience conducting different types of remote audits (investigator site, vendor and internal process audits). We provide guidance to our clients assessing whether remote audits are feasible. We have developed different processes which help evaluating the key aspects to consider during a remote audit without risking the quality and regulatory compliance.

We believe remote audits are the future of auditing and just not a provisional solution during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Computerized Systems Compliance

Computers have become the primary mode to plan, conduct, close-out, analyze and report clinical research. Throughout all stages of product development, computerized systems are utilized by many stakeholders. E.g.: investigators, contract research organizations, sponsors, central laboratories, specialty vendors.

To ensure these computer systems are fit for their intended use, they need to be trustworthy, reliable and accurate.

Pharmity possesses a comprehensive understanding of the regulations, guidances and guidelines, standards and best practices around the use of computerized systems in clinical research. We offer the following services to help organizations to ensure that the computerized systems are fit for their intended use in clinical trial settings and maintain data quality and integrity.
