Digital Signatures Growing as a Result of Part 11

During the past two years, FDA has been looking more closely at enforcing Part 11 of the Title 21 Code of Federal Regulations regarding electronic records and signatures (see back story). As a result, digital signatures are becoming more commonplace throughout laboratories, manufacturing sites, and offices as companies search for ways to track and file processes, SOPs, approvals, supply chain movement, drug applications, and more. Quality management systems, much like our personal lives, are becoming far more digital and far less paper-based.
