• Ensure the security of online data.
Say Ms. Jones is getting treated for diabetes. The FDA wanted to made sure that hackers couldn’t easily breach the system and mess with her file. The same goes for unethical doctors. It also wanted to make sure that, if a negligent medical professional went in and made a mistake, system administrators could easily go back and identify it.
• Confirm with certainty the identity of each individual using a system. They need a verified electronic signature. This closely follows thing #1. A non-medical professional shouldn’t be able to impersonate the real deal. The system should be as secure as, say, the keycard system used to grant certain doctors access to a hospital wing.
So whether it’s a learning management system, a hospital database, a medical device manufacturer, a biotech company, videoconferencing used for medicine, a doctors-only dating app, or anything else that requires the online verification and security of medical work, your ‘system’ needs to comply with Title 21 CFR Part 11. Companies Have struggled to Comply for Over 20 Years
Despite these concerns and the outsized burden placed on a wide swath of companies in the medical industry, Title 21 CFR Part 11 lives on. It has been updated through the years (and the FDA has continued to release further guidance documents).
The current rules on the books were implemented as of April, 2017. It appears that the latest update made some confusing requirements in regard to electronic signatures. Just a few months after it was released, yet another guidance document emerged titled “ Use of Electronic Records and Electronic Signatures in Clinical Investigations Under 21 CFR Part 11—Questions and Answers.” What happens if you don’t follow CFR Part 11?
If you don’t comply with these regulations, the FDA will eventually find out. Inspectors regularly come around to check up on companies and, if they find measures lacking in terms of electronic records and verification for your system, they will issue a a Form 483. This is essentially a warning, saying you need to correct certain areas. For the past several years, the FDA has issued around 5,000 483s annually (it seems to be somewhat of a quota). Keep in mind, these are general forms, and the majority of violations documented have nothing to do with CFR Part 11.
