Recently, a sponsor’s Chief Medical Monitor remarked to me that it requires six different logins for them to pull together a coherent view of patients in their studies. Unfortunately, this is only the tip of the iceberg.
With the rise of clinical trial outsourcing and proliferation of data sources, it takes data management even longer to aggregate, clean, and validate data so it provides a useful picture of each study. Once this data is aggregated, it is often outdated. Even when it is accurate, it can be tough to sift through it to find specific sites or metrics that require additional attention from the medical team. When the team finally identifies patients that require additional investigation, the medical team typically runs into this six-logins problem. And once this patient data is compiled, it is often tough to create visualizations that help the medical team perform clinical assessment.
This problem is widespread. Over 85% of medical and data teams recently identified disparate data in multiple systems as the most significant barrier to medical review and clinical assessment.
How can we improve this medical review process?
During this webinar, clinical experts Ken Wu and Matt McKinney will discuss best data practices and how, when used in combination with a new class of cloud software called Clinical Intelligence, this intuitive approach can accelerate medical review. They’ll focus this conversation on three data principles followed by leading teams:
1. Automate data aggregation
2. Standardize and monitor critical metrics
3. Visualize patient issues with graphical profiles
