What are everyones thoughts about a software company performing validation for the end user of that software? Isn't this considered a conflict of interest? My facilily has just purchased a McKesson product and it appears that the software vendor who manufactures the product also has a validation company and now performs validations. This company is automatically written right into the contract and we were not given the opportunity or the information needed to investigate them. I just came back from the AABB and the FDA frowned upon such a type of validation. Any thoughts?
