Data Integrity

Data integrity
That’s what we wanna see
In everything that we do
Data integrity, it’s part of GMP
it’s also the right thing to do
Data Integrity
It’s about honesty
That should be more than a goal
integrity also means
The state of being
Undivided and whole
That means you don’t mess with data
And you don’t fudge the date
With those rules it’s easy to comply
But though what you include
may be only the truth
What you omit can make it a lie
It’s gotta be Attributable, and Legible
Contemporaneous and Original
Accurate Complete Consistent Enduring and Available
That’s ALCOA+
Data Integrity
It means veracity
A fancy word for the truth
If data is corrupted
Then everything’s disrupted
And there’s really no excuse
Because all of it matters to our customer’s fate
And by the time we correct it, it could be too late
It might be the difference between life and death
Or maybe just a matter of trust
But either way -
Data integrity - It's up to all of us!
