The first module AuditLink provides a means of storing and retrieving pharmacy quality system paper work in an orderly manner. Each Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or Policy or other record, has a unique ID. Within each document there are a series of fields into which information is placed which can be later changed if required. Included are fields recording who whose responsibility it is to do this for each individual document, the frequency of review and the next date of review.
A document may refer to an appendix where more detailed information or a proforma may be accessed. The printed appendices are filed at the back of the Quality File.
Each document is printed and placed within the documentation folder and the appropriate fields are filled in on the bottom of each document.
Apart from various reports that can be printed with these documents there are also summary lists available as well as overdue lists.
