Effectiveness Checks allow you to monitor the effectiveness of a change after it is implemented. In the case of a Deviation, an Effectiveness Check evaluates the effectiveness of the CAPA plan.

To create an Effectiveness Check:

  1. In the Change Control or Deviation record, click Effectiveness Checks, then click Create.

  4. Enter the Start Date on which Vault will automatically initiate the Complete Effectiveness Check task. We recommend entering a Start Date later than the Change Control or Deviation Current Due Date, because Effectiveness Checks are completed after the associated Change Control or Deviation is closed.
