An integrated system for managing changes in regulatory and non-regulatory
requirements for business activities at an industrial or commercial
facility. Application of this system to environmental, health and safety
activities, and to food, drug, cosmetic, and medical treatment and device
activities, are discussed as examples. The system: provides one or more
databases that contain information on operations and requirements
concerning an activity or area of business; receives information on
regulatory and non-regulatory changes that affect operations of the
business; converts these changes into changes in data entry forms, data
processing and analysis procedures, and presentation (by printing,
electronic display and/or distribution) of data processing and analysis
results to selected recipients, without requiring the services of one or
more programmers to re-key and/or reformat the items affected by the
change; and implements receipt of change information and dissemination of
data processing and analysis results using the facilities of the
Internet.
