Reflections on SCDM 2019: Technology’s Role in Transforming Clinical Data Management

▤ Summary

I believe we have reached the tipping point where eSource is moving from single use point-to-point solutions toward a broader framework, enabling standards-based exchange of data with little variation at the site level. There are several groups within the clinical research industry working towards this vision of standards-based data exchange, many of which presented on their experiences at the conference: The SCDM eSource Implementation Consortium is a network bringing together academia and biopharmaceutical companies, along with EHR vendors, EDC vendors and technology providers, establishing methods of clinical trial data transfer, define best practices that can be scaled up across the clinical research enterprise, and consistently share progress with the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) Health Information Technology (IT) Board, and other regulatory authorities. The consortium is dedicated to enabling faster and more efficient digital exchange of clinical research source data from academic medical sites to industry sponsors. Forte is the first technology provider to join SCDM’s eSource Implementation Consortium, demonstrating its commitment to fostering collaboration between sites, sponsors and vendors to promote greater efficiencies and improved research outcomes. If you are in the biopharmaceutical, technology or academic spaces, this is your opportunity to have a seat at the table in these important discussions, and to help drive the transformation of clinical data management through developing eSource implementation best practices and standards.
