Word-based eBR

Approach (also known as “Word-native eBR”) to creating electronic batch records directly from existing recipes or SOPs in Microsoft Word®, enriched with structured standard elements.

Context: Avoids proprietary modeling editors and reduces training overhead. Authors keep their familiar tool.

Why it matters: Minimizes friction, boosts adoption, accelerates change cadence.

Components: Word® standard elements, structured parameter fields, system-generated audit trail.

Not just: Uploading documents – actual semantic structure + execution logic.

Risks if poorly implemented: Opaque field definitions, missing plausibility checks.
