Why electronic batch records are the backbone of GxP
Paper batch records were built for a slower era. Every manual entry is a place where a transcription error can hide, and every review pass is a search for those errors after the fact.
An electronic batch record enforces the process as it happens: mandatory fields, sequence checks and real-time limits mean deviations are caught at the point of execution rather than during release. The result is review by exception — reviewers look at what actually deviated, not every line of every record.
