Handle With Care: Clinical Data Cleaning

Clinical trials are becoming more challenging, time-consuming and resource intensive. In addition to the pressure for timeliness which face the sites at the front lines of clinical trials, today's standard data cleaning methods cater to approaches that are at high risk of inadvertently introducing bias into the data, thus skewing the trial results.


This presentation explores the premise that the very process of data cleaning has the potential to in fact do more harm than good in more detail. The presentation also introduces predictive, proactive, and preventative real-life measures that can be deployed to manage the level of errors and the need for data cleaning, thus improving the overall data quality.

Handle With Care: Clinical Data Cleaning is presented by Elaine Job, Executive Director, Data Management Late Stage Development Services, of Covance, Inc. For more information on this audio conference, please visit our site www.fxconferences.com
