ALCOA is a framework for ensuring data security and data integrity, with the goal of consistently having “quality data.” SciCord follows the ALCOA + model when developing their ELN/LIMS solution to ensure that the data captured is Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate, Complete, Consistent, Enduring, and Available:
In the pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the integrity and authenticity of data is a critical imperative. To meet rigorous quality and compliance standards, pharmaceutical companies have embraced ALCOA, representing a set of principles that ensure data reliability and traceability across drug development and manufacturing processes. ALCOA has become a foundational framework in pharmaceutical data management.
This method’s importance cannot be overstated, as it plays a pivotal role in upholding product quality, patient safety, and regulatory adherence. As pharmaceutical practices evolve to meet emerging challenges, the ALCOA method remains a steadfast ally, helping companies navigate the complex regulatory landscape while prioritizing patient well-being.
The original data records should be preserved.
For any data to be viable, the data should be error-free. If any amendments occur, documents to support the changes must exist.
