Where Can I
find a Reference to Error Correction Procedures? - Posted
11/20/2009
Great question. One
such source is ISO 17025, Page 9 4.13.2.3. "When mistakes occur in records, each mistake
shall be crossed out, not erased, made illegible or deleted, and the correct
value entered alongside. All such alterations to records shall be signed or initialed
by the person making the correction. In the case of records stored
electronically, equivalent measures shall be taken to avoid loss or change of
original data."
How
To Ensure Learning from Classroom Training -
Posted 11/6/2009
Classroom training
all too frequently is nothing more than lecture classes. Although there are
times trainers need to "get the message out" little behavior change
takes place. A colleague asked me yesterday, "How many times do we have
to do something in order for it to result in a change in behavior?" I
have often heard the number - 17 times. Well, perhaps we are not going to have
our classes correct a documentation error 17 times before we feel they should
know how to do it. Yet, we still need some time to practice the expectation.
Here are some "practice approaches" for use in the classroom.
1. Actually perform
the task.
2. Observe someone
else performing a task and the student provides coaching.
3. Ask pairs of
students to develop a commercial for how to properly perform the task.
4. Have pairs of
students design a teaching poster for how to
perform the task.
5. Have pairs of
students observe the task and suggest ways to improve the performance of the
task.
6. Ask the class to
brainstorm possible adverse effects on the job for not performing the task
correctly.
7. Brainstorm how
performing this task correctly protects the well-being of the patient.
So here are some
ways to practice and review the performance of a task without just delivering
a lecture. This and much more is covered in GMP Trainer
Certification class and Training
Skills for Trainers.
Using
Video and DVDs in the Classroom -
Posted 11/5/2009
Using videos and
DVDs in the classroom is not difficult. But it is not intended to be a
babysitter while the instructor gets a cup of coffee. Successfully using
videos and DVDs in the classroom requires four simple steps, three of which
are often forgotten, and a qualified instructor.
1. Tell the class what
they are going to see and why you want them to see it.
2. Give the class an
assignment to perform during and immediately after the video or DVD has ended.
The assignment can be as simple as, "During this DVD write down as many
things you did not know prior to watching this DVD."
3. Now it's time to
turn on the DVD. See our list of movies and interactive
CBTs
4. After the DVD is
over, follow up on what the class has learned. Using the round robin technique,
chart everyone's responses. As an instructor elaborate on the class response as
appropriate.
Overcoming
Documentation Errors - Posted 7/23/2009
Documentation errors that are not corrected at the time they are made, cost drug
and device manufacturers thousands of dollars each year in deviation
investigations and delayed shipment of products. Documentation training
frequently fails to keep the important documentation training message at the
forefront of each person's thinking.
Training
Suggestion
Shortly
before training, and for some time after training, posters, used like safety
signs, can help reinforce, remind and keep the message repetitive.
Tips
for using posters in your plant
1.
Put them up about 1-2 weeks before a planned training session.
2.
Reference them in the training and link them to the compliance message.
3.
After the training, display the posters at difference locations around the
plant. Each poster should have a separate slogan or reminder to attract
attention.
