CSA: Leveraging Supplier Assurance

Computer Systems Validation (CSV) offers numerous benefits when it comes to proving an assured state, but the documentation and resource requirements can be substantial. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could utilize testing that your vendors have already conducted?  Meet Chao, who is convinced that more paper equals more safety, and Cassandra, who champions the risk-based critical thinking efficiency of Computer Software Assurance (CSA). They both want a safe and effective validation, but each worries about what they’ll give up if they adopt each other’s practices.  Enter Lucy, who walks them through a strategy that meets both their needs: Leveraging Supplier Assurance (LSA).

Through Lucy’s tour of LSA,  guided practice, and real-world scenarios, you learn how to implement the central CSA principle -Trust, but Verify, Proportional to Risk -specifically for vendor-provided software. Find out how to strategically shift the assurance burden to the most knowledgeable party: the supplier.  With Lucy’s assistance,  you can make informed decisions that simplify validation, save substantial time and resources, and maintain the highest standards of patient safety, data integrity, and product quality.
