[90]. However, relying on DBMS alone will not prevent all DI issues. Firstly, DBMS is unable to ensure data entered was ALCOA-plus, and audits are required to ascertain that [111]. Secondly, unvalidated or outdated systems require upgrading, and migration of data while updating may cause errors to be carried forward unknowingly, especially for large volume of data [95, 112], leading to an inaccurate database. Therefore, DBMS alone cannot prevent all DI issues. Con­tinually upgrading DBMS by periodically reviewing documenta­tion and procedures which influence the quality of pharmaceutical products manufactured against established standards would aid in promoting DI in the future as well [113–116]. However, audits take resources to perform, and smaller companies might not be able to perform frequent and comprehensive self-audits. Nonetheless, hav­ing such audits would ensure that the DBMS employed by the com­pany are current and ecient, ultimately promoting DI [95, 114].
Education and training
It is important for employees to undergo DI education and training for them to understand the importance of maintaining DI and the consequences if not maintained [117, 118]. More detailed sessions should be conducted for employees with access to modify processes, systems, and records, further explaining their responsibilities [114, 118]. Training sessions could also standardize the procedures, termi­nology, and concepts within the company, reducing DI violations due to miscommunication [114]. Currently, DI courses from exter­nal service providers such as ECA Academy [119] and Reading Scien­tific Services Ltd (RSSL) [120] exist.
However, training can be costly, especially to smaller companies. To mitigate part of the cost, a representative could be trained, before

training their fellow colleagues, causing a multiplying eect. Fur­thermore, manufacturers may form associations together, getting group discounts from DI training providers [120]. To ensure knowl­edge retention of the training provided, constant refreshers are needed, be it refresher courses or incentivize maintaining DI with company culture, otherwise such knowledge might be forgotten if infrequently used [121].
Robust quality agreements
With an increase in outsourcing of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, quality agreements, which are written contracts between companies to ensure responsibilities and expectations for both par­ties are agreed upon [122], must be rigorously prepared, mutually agreed and signed. However, this process can be time-consuming as reaching a consensus can be challenging. Some guides, such as one from Rx-360 [123], help expedite this process. By having a concise understanding of expectations, the contract giver would hence be able to assure that practices which promote DI would be performed by the contract acceptor, while the contract acceptor understands what is expected of them [124].

Collaboration between countries
Each country has its own set of legislation. Although the legisla­tion of dierent countries generally overlaps [125, 126], individual countries may not accept specific documents that originate from another country, exacerbating DI issues. Hence, collaborative use of legislation and mutual recognition schemes can help to promote DI

[127, 128], with the added benefit of ecient international transac­tions as DI criteria would have been fulfilled prior to application for regulatory or other transaction approvals.
Eective and ecient audits and audit trail review
Audits are defined as validation checks conducted on manufactur­ing protocols and systems that assure quality in the processes, prod­ucts, and computerized systems at the manufacturing site [129]. This includes both internal audits self-conducted by the manufacturer in accordance with Chapter 9 of the PIC/S GMP Guide [130], and external audits conducted by regulatory auditors including FDA and MHRA. As audits are limited in duration, meaningful and e­cient audits should be conducted [124]. In general, processes or data that do not aect product safety and compliance, including data on accounting and finances [131], need not be audited. The audit can be streamlined by tagging relevant items to allow the auditor to quickly sieve them out for scrutiny [132, 133]. Audit trails may be divided into 2 dierent types: Data Audit Trail (DAT), which covers the raw data recorded, and System Audit Trail (SAT), which covers the systems in place to maintain DI during documentation.
When auditing DAT, critical quality attributes (CQA) and audit trail elements must be defined before conducting the audit. CQAs are the characteristics or properties that can harm patients if not properly controlled [117]. These attributes are to be defined by the company, referring to current legislation and guidance such as ICH Q8(R2) Part 2 [134]. Audit trail elements are the items which aect CQAs and are to be audited [132]. Other items need not be audited as frequently nor meticulously [131]. When auditing SAT, assuming

the current system is validated, auditing for possible indicators of DI breaches can substitute an audit of the raw SAT data [131]. These indicators include multiple logins attempts and read and write errors [135]. With the recent focus of audits being more SAT­oriented, coupled with more robust systems that can detect errors in DAT [131], falsification of data points prior to documentation may not be detected. As such, both DAT and SAT must be audited in tandem to achieve a more comprehensive audit outcome.
255
Finally, it must be emphasized that a reliance on periodic audits from the regulator is grossly inadequate to address DI issues. On the other hand, overly frequent internal audits may ineciently use the company’s manpower. For SAT, an approach based on the risks and implications of DI breaches and the Good Automated Manufac­turing Practices (GAMP 5) Software Category [131], as tabulated in Table 7, is recommended.
Computerized systems validation
Pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers should validate their computerized systems such that they are fit for

their intended purpose, and to ensure that adequate controls are in place to facilitate tracking and detection of deleted or altered data. The use of hybrid (paper and computerized) systems should be discouraged. However, where legacy systems are awaiting replacement, mitigating controls should be put in place. In such cases, original records generated during the course of GxP activ­ities must be complete and must be maintained throughout the records retention period in a manner that allows the full recon­struction of the GxP activities. Replacement of hybrid systems should be a priority [41].

Conclusion
With increasingly complex pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, maintaining DI might become more challenging, and relying merely on legislation and guidance to maintain DI might be insucient. Some possible solutions to tackle this challenge include having a com­pany culture of integrity, having a good DBMS, education and train­ing, forming eective quality agreements, collaborations between countries, and performing ecient audits. Together with existing leg­islation and guidance, these measures can help manage DI issues in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, improve the standard of pharmaceutical manufacturing worldwide, and ultimately, pro­duce safe and quality medicinal products for patients internationally.
