2023 GPP Compliance: When Traceability Becomes Automated

2023 GPP Compliance: When Traceability Becomes Automated

The 2023 BPP (Good Pharmaceutical Practices) have strengthened the documentation requirements. Every preparation must be tracked, every control archived, every release justified.

The issue: this documentation work requires time you simply don't have.

The QCRx® has been designed so that compliance is a natural by-product of control, not an additional burden.

Authentic traceability

Chapter 4 of the 2023 Good Preparation Practices is clear: each batch must have a comprehensive dossier that allows for the reconstruction of all operations.

Contents required in the batch record for inspections:

Summary of Physico-Chemical Evaluations

Release decision with date, pharmacist's name, and signature

Identification of potential anomalies and incidents

Dated and signed results of conducted inspections

Shelf Life

At least 1 year after the batch expiration date, or 10 years if the data is used for the traceability of the registry.

Balancing Demands and Practicality

On paper, the requirements are clear. In practice, however, they face several challenges:

The time

Manually completing batch records, re-entering results, and ensuring consistency... Time spent on documentation is time taken away from preparation and clinical pharmacy.

The pressure of audits

The inspection is approaching. We need to locate the file of a batch prepared 8 months ago, demonstrate compliance, and confirm that all checks were properly conducted...

Staff turnover

Each newcomer must be trained in documentary procedures. Habits can be lost when the team changes.

Paradox

As traceability demands increase, the risk of documentation errors also rises—unless the system is automated.

Compliance as a byproduct, not a burden

QCRx® is not a compliance tool. It is an analytical control tool that, by design, automatically generates all the required documentation.

For each analysis, the system automatically logs:

BPP Requirement 2023

Dated and signed results

Physico-chemical assessments

Audit Findings

Operator Identification

Synopsis of irregularities

Long-term archiving

What QCRx® does

Automatic timestamping and operator identification

Spectroscopic analysis: molecule, concentration, solvent

Automated Verdict: Compliant / Non-compliant

User login is tracked with every action

Alert and Documentation of Non-Conformities

Stored and auditable data for review

The practical implications are as follows:

Zero re-entry

The results are directly integrated into the information system. No manual copying, no transcription errors.

No interpretation

The decision is automatic. No subjective judgment needs documentation.

Audit-ready

The inspector requires access to a batch record? A few clicks are all it takes to export the complete history.

Impact on Daily Practice

Without automated oversight

Manual completion of batch record

Manual re-entry of control outcomes

Pharmacist's written signature

Manual search for audits

Potential transcription error

Using QCRx®

Automated record generation

Direct injection into the prescribing software

Auditable electronic validation

Immediate export of the history

Raw, immutable data

QCRx® assists you in meeting the requirements of:

Good preparation Practices

Good Preparation Practices (ANSM), particularly chapters 4 and 6

Observations

QCRx® is an analytical control tool, not a document management software. It generates control data compliant with the requirements: integrating these into your overall quality system remains your responsibility.

Streamline your compliance

Quality documentation should not be an end in itself. It serves as evidence that the work has been correctly performed. QCRx® automatically generates this proof with each inspection.

In a 30-minute demonstration, we will reveal:

How control data is generated and archived

How to generate a record for audit purposes

How does the system integrate with your existing information system?
