114 . BLOCKCHAIN INTEGRATION IN PHARMACEUTICAL VALIDATION: A FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
Blockchain Technology, Data Integrity, Pharmaceutical Validation, Regulatory Compliance, Supply Chain ManagementAbstract
The pharmaceutical industry faces ongoing challenges in maintaining data integrity, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and establishing transparent supply chain management. This technical article examines the transformative potential of blockchain technology in pharmaceutical validation processes, with particular emphasis on FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Through analysis of current implementations and theoretical frameworks, we explore how blockchain's inherent characteristics can revolutionize pharmaceutical validation while addressing existing industry pain points, focusing on consensus mechanisms, smart contracts, and system integration. The article demonstrates significant improvements in audit efficiency, compliance management, and data accessibility through blockchain implementation, providing a roadmap for future industry adoption.
