Training Courses, Classes, Seminars and Webinars

This one-day seminar will get into the fine details of what we need to do and how to do it. We will go point by point through the entire HIPAA Security Rule and uncover simple methods to comply and create policy. The primary goal is to ensure everyone is well educated on what is myth and what is reality with this law, as there is so much misleading information regarding the do's and don'ts with HIPAA. I want to add clarity for compliance officers. It will also address major changes under the Omnibus Rule and any other applicable updates for 2018.

The objective of the seminar is to provide information that can be used immediately by personnel involved in production operations, and by supervisors and management in decision making. Although the presentation involves use of statistical techniques, presentation of statistical theory will be limited to only what is needed by the attendees to understand and implement processes and testing within the statistical framework.

Outreach training content includes hazard recognition and avoidance, workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint; it emphasizes the value of safety and health to workers, including young workers. Participants receive a participation card from the US Department of Labor.

Major depression is a huge challenge in today's society with approximately more than one in 15 people having suffered from a major depressive episode in the last year. Depression is seen in both sexes and in all ages, including children, although it's more common among females and those age 40-59. But many people suffer with depression needlessly because they don't know what depression really is and don't get appropriate treatment. While anyone can write a list of clinical symptoms, it's how depression manifests in real people that really makes a mark.

This interactive two-day course explores proven techniques for reducing costs associated with implementing, using, and maintaining computer systems in regulated environments. Many companies are outsourcing IT resources and getting involved with Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing. These vendors are not regulated and therefore regulated companies must ensure compliance for both infrastructure qualification and computer system validation. It is the regulated company that wants to avoid FDA form 483s and warning letters. The seminar is intended for regulated companies, software vendors, and SaaS/Cloud providers.

Senior management takes responsibility for Quality and GXP compliance. It is not something delegated to the Quality unit or to the Regulatory Affairs group. Developing and implementing an effective Inspection readiness plan will help ensure better results, as well as a less stressful inspection. Planning strategically ahead will reduce document turn-around time, improve presentation skills from SMEs, and increase inspector confidence in the Quality System. Successfully completing an FDA inspection is critical to cGMP operations and commercial success. Implementing and maintaining robust quality systems is one element to accomplishing this goal.

The course will go through what typically goes on during an FDA inspection and will then cover how to prepare for, host and follow up to a regulatory inspection. It will focus the things that you should do or not do during the inspection. Typically FDA inspections can be highly structured and there are usually procedures that are to be followed. It is important for anyone who might be involved in the inspection to be aware of these procedures.
