Optimizing Data Displays for Safety Messaging

is being presented by Dr. Susan Sisk, Principal, SFP Consulting, LLC and airs on Thursday, August 25th, 2011. For more details or to register, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Many times, tables and listings used for preparing clinical study reports, integrated summaries, and other clinical documents are designed without closely considering how these data displays will be used by the writer and review team to expedite document preparation and support messages about healthcare products. For example, does placebo come first on your tables and, if so, does that mean placebo is first in the text, or are you more interested in the test drug, mentioning placebo in context as a comparator? Or, have you ever written narratives from listings that required you to look up information in dozens of fields and then to do manual calculations to obtain “durations” required by the template, rather than the date-formatted data provided in the displays?

This audio conference presentation is designed to educate and to provoke dialog between statisticians and writers, as well as medical, regulatory, and project managers, with respect to appropriate display of clinical information to expedite document preparation and review.
